Barcelona face UD Barbastro in the third round of the Copa del Rey, aiming to win the tournament for the first time since 2021.
Barcelona begin their 2025 Copa del Rey campaign with a third-round match against third-division side UD Barbastro. The Catalan giants endured a shaky end to 2024, winning only one of their last seven domestic fixtures. They're aiming to lift the trophy for the first time since the 2020-21 season. This marks the second consecutive year Barcelona will face UD Barbastro in the Copa del Rey, having narrowly escaped with a 3-2 victory last year.
A Robert Lewandowski penalty in the 88th minute sealed the win. Barcelona are strong favorites and should progress comfortably this time. Hansi Flick might deploy a rotated squad as Barcelona travel to Saudi Arabia for the Spanish Super Cup next week. Even though there was a two-week break during December's festive period, Flick could opt to give more rest to players who were heavily played during the first half of the season. \Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1):\GK: Inaki Pena\CB: Ronald Araújo\LB: Jordi Alba\CM: Frenkie de Jong\RW: Raphinha\LW: Fermín López\ST: Ferran Torre
