Barcelona wants to avoid scares against UD Barbastro (Huesca), a Second RFEF team and the blaugranas' first rival, who open this Sunday in the round of 32 of the Copa de Rey.
The Huesca team aspires to surprise the culé team, which does not want a new setback that increases the doubts it is transmitting in the rest of the competitions, especially due to the team's play.
Barcelona enters the match with doubts, after achieving a narrow victory this week against UD Las Palmas (1-2), thanks to a penalty goal by German midfielder Ilkay Gündogan in added time.
A defeat would have almost ruled out the Blaugranas in the fight for the title, although they still have a very difficult time: they are seven points behind Real Madrid, co-leader of the championship with Girona.
The blaugranas are looking for the incentive of the Copa del Rey. The culés are not bad at all. It is the team with the most Cup titles (31) in its showcases, followed by Athletic Club and Real Madrid.
The match between UD Barbastro and Barcelona, corresponding to the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey, will be played on Sunday, January 7, at 9:00 p.m. The meeting can be seen on television on Movistar and can also be followed live through the La Vanguardia website.
