Zaragoza's emphatic 4-2 win in the first leg was enough to earn them a 5-4 aggregate victory over the Catalans, who were reduced to 10 men late in the first half after the sending off of Ronaldinho.

Victor Munoz's side now face a semifinal showdown against Real Madrid, the team they beat in the final two years ago.

Deportivo Coruna joined Zaragoza in the last four after a 1-1 draw at Valencia gave them a 2-1 aggregate victory in their resumed quarterfinal tie which was played behind closed doors at the Mestalla.

Deportivo midfielder Victor's 70th minute penalty cancelled out David Villa's strike in last week's abandoned game and ensured the Galicians of a place in the semis.

Barcelona faced an uphill task at the Nou Camp, but they wasted no time pushing forward.

Argentine teenager Lionel Messi grazed the far post with a low drive in the eighth minute after he had been put clear by Ronaldinho and midfielder Deco went close with a rasping free kick.

Mexican midfielder Rafael Marquez then had a powerful header cleared off the line by centre-back Diego Milito. But the Catalans' ambitious game plan meant they were living dangerously at the back.

Reserve keeper Albert Jorquera pulled off a fantastic reflex save to turn a thundering shot from midfielder Cani over the bar just before the half hour and produced another great stop to block a point-blank header from Ewerthon.

Barca's hopes of turning round the tie took a heavy blow when Ronaldinho was controversially given a straight red card for a challenge on Cani, sparking an angry response from the home fans.

But the incident only served to breathe new life into Frank Rijkaard's side and four minutes later Messi put them 1-0 up on the night when he headed in Ludovic Giuly's cross.

Still needing another goal, Barca continued to pour forward after the break and midfielder Andres Iniesta hit the base of the post early on.

Their hopes of a comeback were extinguished, however, when Zaragoza midfielder Oscar found himself in space on the left and curled a swirling shot past Jorquera. Henrik Larsson's stoppage-time goal mattered little.

In Italy, Serie A leaders Juventus were knocked out of the Italian Cup on the away goals rule on Wednesday after a 1-0 win at AS Roma meant the quarterfinal finished 3-3 on aggregate.

Urged on by a crowd of 51,000 at Rome's Olympic Stadium, the home side started strongly with Francesco Totti forcing Juve keeper Christian Abbiati into a diving save from a free kick.

In the 18th minute a foul by Pavel Nedved on Totti led to opposing players almost coming to blows and red cards being shown to Roma midfielder Olivier Dacourt and Juve striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The dismissals did not stop Roma pressing forward, midfielder Daniele De Rossi heading narrowly wide before the half-hour.

Juve's first real scoring chance came a minute before halftime when keeper Gianluca Curci reacted well to tip a Marcelo Zalayeta header over the bar.

Having played so well up to the interval, Roma let Juve back into the contest three minutes after the restart when Simone Perrotta handled in the box and Adrian Mutu converted the penalty.

Coach Fabio Capello sent on Emerson and striker Alessandro Del Piero, scorer of Juve's two first-leg goals, as he went on the attack.

Del Piero struggled to impose himself against a solid Roma back four but in the 71st minute teammate Patrick Vieira almost netted with a superb right-footed shot that hit the base of the post.

In the semifinals Roma will face Palermo, who eliminated AC Milan on Tuesday.

Another side to progress on the away goals rule was Udinese, who drew 2-2 at Sampdoria on Wednesday to leave the tie drawn 3-3 on aggregate.
