Barcelona starts its year quietly – Copa del Rey – 16th – Barbastro-Barcelona (0-4)

Buts : García (21^e), Lewandowski (31^e et 47^e) and Torre (56^e) for Barça

Dani Olmo? Don’t know.

Before flying to Saudi Arabia to play a Super Cup and going to his banker to settle the Dani Olmo question, Hansi Flick won his hundredth match on a bench. FC Barcelona started its 2025 Copa del Rey as it started its 2024 Copa del Rey: with a victory at Barbastro, a modest fourth division team. (0-4). On a difficult pitch for a Barcelona player, the Blaugrana provided the essentials for Wojciech Szczęsny’s first in goal.

Return of Araujo

The goalkeeper had nothing to do thanks to solid work from Ronald Araujo, back this evening. The usual substitute Eric García put them on the right track with his header, Robert Lewandowski went there with his double, with his head and right foot. At the start, Pablo Torre increased the score after an assist from the Barbastro goalkeeper. Something rare enough to be highlighted, the locals changed their goalkeeper at the end of the match. On the Barcelona side, Toni Fernández, 16, played his first minutes with the first team.

The grass at the Barbastro stadium is cut in circles, a great job by the gardeners.

Barça scares itself, but avoids the Barbastro trap
