Barcelona overcame nine-man Atletico Madrid in a fiery Copa del Rey quarter-final to seal a 4-2 aggregate victory.
Trailing 1-0 from the first leg, Fernando Torres drove Atletico level inside a minute but Neymar quickly swept home a Barca counter-attack.
Atletico led again through Raul Garcia's penalty but Miranda's own goal and a second for Neymar left the hosts needing three to progress at the break.
Gabi was sent off in the tunnel at half time and Mario Suarez saw red late on.
Their dismissals were in keeping with an ill-disciplined Atletico performance and when Neymar argued with home players on his way to the tunnel at the interval, he drew a cursory point of the finger from Gabi, who did not return for the second half.
