Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao just can't be separated.

The draw for the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey took place Friday, pitting the competition's remaining eight clubs into four ties.

Most notably, Barcelona and Athletic, who clashed in the final of the last edition of the Copa del Rey and also met twice in last year's Spanish Super Cup, were once again drawn alongside each other. The first leg will be played on Jan. 20 at San Mames, while the return leg will go Jan. 27 at the Camp Nou.

Elsewhere, Valencia and Las Palmas will do battle, Sevilla and CD Mirandes will meet in the only tie involving a non-La Liga club, and Celta de Vigo and Atletico Madrid will collide.

Here are the full results of the draw:
