Barcelona faces Barbastro for the second time in two seasons, again in the Copa del Rey. As things stand, they are on course for another win over the fourth division team after taking an early lead in this round of 16 tie.
Ronald Araujo is making his first start of the season and played a big role in the first game. A cross into the area by Frenkie de Jong was headed by the Uruguayan defender and Eric García made no mistake in finding the back of the net.

Barcelona had a dominant start to the match and although it hasn’t been easy due to the pitch conditions, they will be very happy to have scored from the start. Hansi Flick named a very strong team for this match because he knew it had the potential to be a difficult occasion for his players, so he will be pleased with the early stages.
