Barcelona are on track to start 2025 in great style. After a bad finish the previous year, the Catalans needed a good result in Barbastro in the Copa del Rey, and they are about to achieve it after winning 4-0.
It was Eric García who opened the scoring for Hansi Flick’s team, before Robert Lewandowski added the second 10 minutes later. Barcelona’s third came less than 120 seconds into the second half thanks to Lewandowski’s second of the afternoon, and now the fourth has come from Pablo Torre after a terrible mistake by Barbastro goalkeeper Arnau Fábrega.

Torre stood out for Barcelona in the first 56 minutes, so this goal is very deserved for him. With the strong possibility that Dani Olmo will not be able to play for Barcelona again this season, he has the opportunity to earn a regular starting role, and that audition has gone very well so far.
