Barcelona beat Athetlic Bilbao 2-1 at the San Mames stadium to take the first-leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals.

Arda Turan started his fourth game and made his fifth appearance since making his debut against Espanyol in the same competition a fortnight ago.

Turan was directly involved in the opening goal providing a defence splitting pass that bypassed three opposition players to play Rakitic into acres of space to find Munir who slotted the ball into the back of the net.

The bearded winger shared a picture on Instagram celebrating the opening goal alongside his ‘brother’ Ivan Rakitic and ‘idol’ Andres Iniesta.

Barcelona have been in great form since Turan made his debut winning all five games scoring a total of 18 goals and conceding just two times.

Turan himself has provided two assists both of which were against opposition in the La Liga and he has played in four different positions including right midfield, left midfield, right wing and left wing.
