MADRID, Jan. 26 (Xinhua) -- Reigning King's Cup holders, FC Barcelona have been given a tough semifinal tie against Valencia in the draw for the last four of the knockout competition held in Madrid on Friday.

The first game will be in the Camp Nou Stadium next week with the return leg coming a week later.

It is a tie where any small detail could be important. All we are thinking about is playing well in the home leg in order to have an advantage and go to Valencia on the back of a good result," said Barca midfielder Andres Iniesta on Spanish TV afterwards.

The second semi-final pits Real Madrid's conquerors, Leganes, against Sevilla with the first leg in Leganes' Butarque Stadium.

"This is historic for Leganes and we have to be at the level the semi-final demands and try to get to the final," commented Leganes captain Martin Mantovani. Enditem
