Barca won 3-0 in the second leg to go through 4-2 on aggregate but before the game Levante president Quico Catalan said his club would contact the federation on Friday. Barcelona spokesman Josep Vives said his club believed Chumi, 19, was eligible to play in the Copa game. "We've analysed the situation and concluded that playing Chumi in the Copa del Rey was within the rules. The rules say player can't compete for the main squad until he serves a suspension for the B squad. However, the young Spanish defender started the Barca senior team's 2-1 Copa defeat at Levante on Jan. 10.
