Luis Suarez's brace helped Barcelona down Real Madrid and advance to the final of the Copa del Rey.

The Blaugrana will now play Real Betis or Valencia as they bid to secure a fifth straight cup.

The Uruguayan hit the opener with a clever finish at the near post.

And Real Madrid switched off with the visitors punishing them twice in four minutes, first through a Raphael Varane own-goal, then they were awarded a penalty.

Suarez duly stepped up and used a Panenka technique to put the game and tie beyond doubt.

What did you make of the game and who was your man of the match?
