Luis Enrique rotated his squad and Munir grabbed his chance by scoring a goal in each half.

A piece of Lionel Messi brilliance set the 20-year-old up for the first and the five-time Ballon d'Or winner then combined with Aleix Vidal to tee up Munir for his second in the closing minutes.

A first-half goal by Inaki Williams was enough to give Athletic Bilbao a 1-0 win at Villarreal that sealed the Basque's side progression to the next round 4-2 on aggregate.

Celta Vigo had beaten Cadiz 3-0 away in the first leg and goals from John Guidetti and Dejan Drazic rounded off a comfortable 5-0 aggregate victory.

Finally, Las Palmas came from behind to beat Eibar 3-2 in a five-goal thriller, David Garcia's late goal putting the finishing touches on a 6-4 aggregate success after victory by the same scoreline in the first leg.
