Watch Barça – Betis: TV channel, free streaming and probable lineups

After its triumph in the Spanish Super Cup, FC Barcelona returns to its home crowd to welcome Betis in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey this Wednesday.

Barça carried by its victorious momentum

The Catalans are in full euphoria after their resounding 5-2 victory against Real Madrid in the final of the Spanish Super Cup. A success marked by remarkable performances, notably that of Lamine Yamal, author of a sumptuous goal reminiscent of a certain Lionel Messi. Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha (double) and Alejandro Balde also shone in a largely dominated Clasico, despite a numerical inferiority of more than 30 minutes.

With this first trophy of the Hansi Flick era in their pocket, the Blaugrana return to the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys to aim for new success. However, Barça will have to correct its trajectory at home, where it remains on three consecutive defeats in all competitions since its victory against Brest in the Champions League.

Betis in search of an exploit

For their part, Manuel Pellegrini’s men approach this meeting with the hope of rekindling their run in the Copa del Rey, a trophy they last lifted in 2022. If Betis have secured their place in the round of 16 thanks to a decisive goal from Isco against Huesca (1-0), their dynamic in La Liga is worrying. With only one victory in their last eight championship matches, the Andalusians remain stuck in the middle of the table (10th).

However, Los Verdiblancos have not forgotten that they held off Barca in a recent 2-2 draw in December. They will hope to build on this performance to surprise their hosts and clinch qualification for the quarters, a stage they have not reached since their triumph in 2022.

Between a reinvigorated Barça and a Betis in search of redemption, this duel promises to be intense and could reserve surprises in this always unpredictable Copa del Rey.
