Subs off with muscle issue Thursday Barrios delivered an assist before picking up an apparent thigh injury that forced him to leave Thursday's Copa del Rey matchup versus real Betis.

Impact Barrios started despite being a minor doubt for this game, but he left in pain after five minutes of the second half.
