Reuters: Cameroonian teenager Wilfrid Kaptoum scored a late equaliser to give Barcelona a 1-1 draw at Valencia that wrapped up an 8-1 aggregate success in their King’s Cup semi-final on Wednesday.
The second-leg result, which denied home coach Gary Neville a much-needed first win in four matches, was academic after Barcelona had crushed Valencia 7-0 in the first leg at the Nou Camp.
Barca, who went through to their sixth final in eight seasons, will face Celta Vigo or Sevilla in the showpiece match.
“I’m very happy to play another final... It’s one of the nicest matches of the season,” Barca coach Luis Enrique told reporters.
The draw was Barcelona’s 29th match unbeaten and Luis Enrique’s side surpassed the previous best mark set by former boss Pep Guardiola in the 2010-11 season.
