Barcelona Wednesday booked the Spanish King's Cup final meet with Athletic Bilbao after Lionel Messi's late strike gave them a 1-1 draw at Real Mallorca. Barcelona completed a 3-1 aggregate victory for the Primera Liga leaders after the second leg draw while Bilbao beat Sevilla 3-0 at home to overturn a 2-1 defeat from last month's first leg.
Barca will play Bilbao in the May 13 final in Valencia.
Both Barca and Mallorca were reduced to 10 men.
Gonzalo Castro gave Mallorca the lead with a powerful drive that flew into the top left corner at the end of the first half.
Barca goalkeeper Jose Manuel Pinto saved Jose Luis Marti's weak penalty early in the second half, awarded after defender Martin Caceres felled Castro and earned himself a straight red card.
Mallorca lost defender Josemi to a second yellow card in the 65th minute for bringing down Messi.
The Argentine made it 1-1 in the 81st minute when he pounced on a defensive error and lifted the ball over German Lux.
