Fc Barcelona lost 3-1 on the night against second division leaders Real Betis, but qualified 6-3 on aggregate thanks to their 5-0 first leg win, but a Barca 11 without Andres Iniesta, David Villa, Sergio Busquets, Dani Alves or Carles Puyol soon found itself trailing 2-0 on the night thanks to goals from Betis striker Jorge Molina.
The home side were playing with confidence, but Lionel Messi effectively ended any slim chances they had of qualifying with yet another solo goal.
Although Arturo Arzu added a third for Real Betis before the break, his side still needed four goals more to reach the last four of the competition.
Messi missed a penalty 10 minutes into the second half as he slipped at the moment of kicking the ball.
