Barbastro will host Barcelona at the Campo Municipal de Deportes on Saturday in the last 32 of the 2024-25 Copa del Rey campaign. The fourth-tier side enjoyed a strong finish to 2024 after a difficult run of form in November and are set to begin the new year with a clash against one of Europe's powerhouses.
They kicked off their Copa del Rey campaign with a 4-0 demolition of third-tier outfit Amorebieta featuring second-half braces from Adria de Mesa and Sito Barrera. They then locked horns with Espanyol in the next round of the cup, with Barrera once again coming up clutch with a second-half double.
Barcelona, meanwhile, ended 2024 on a disappointing note, suffering back-to-back home defeats to Leganes and Atletico Madrid in their final games of the year. The domestic cup, however, presents the perfect opportunity for Hansi Flick's men to get their campaign back on track in the new year.
