In spite of the fact that Barcelona’s lone opponent was Barbastro, a team that is now competing in the Fourth Division, they nonetheless behaved in a manner that was “cumbersome” and allowed two goals to be scored against them.

Because there are 90 teams competing in the fourth tier of the Spanish football league system, which is divided into five groups, Barbastro’s level is considered to be an extremely “modest” level. Although this was the case, Coach Xavi nevertheless managed to produce a very powerful team, which included Frenkie de Jong, Fermin Lopez, or Raphinha playing together.

Barcelona took control of the game and scored an early goal, which set the stage for everything to go according to plan in the first few minutes of the encounter. The first goal of the match was scored by Fermin, who took a pass from Raphinha on the right flank and sent the ball into Barbastro’s net with pinpoint accuracy in the 18th minute.

After receiving a cross on the left wing from Hector Fort, a 17-year-old defender, Raphinha managed to run in and finish from close range in the 51st minute, so doubling the difference between the two teams. Barbastro caused a lot of problems after the game, despite the fact that it appeared as though Barcelona would thereafter score a lot of goals to bury their opponents who were lower in strength.

Adria de Mesa, a striker for Barcelona, immediately kicked Inaki Pena, the goalie for Barcelona, into the net in the 61st minute, resulting in a chaotic situation in the penalty area.

 

Robert Lewandowski scored a goal from 11 meters out in the 87th minute, giving the away team a two-goal advantage. The goal came after a player from the home team touched the ball with his hand inside the penalty area.

On the other hand, that wasn’t the target yet. An additional penalty was successfully taken by Marc Prat in minute 90+3, following a foul committed by Fermin within the penalty area. Due to this, Barcelona is experiencing a great deal of anxiety in the few minutes that remain before they are officially awarded a spot in the eighth round. In any case, the fact that Barcelona’s playing style is clearly having issues is demonstrated by the fact that they conceded two goals while playing against a team that is ranked fourth.

As a result, fifteen teams have been selected to compete in the first eighteenth round of the King’s Cup. The following teams are included on this list: Alavés, Athletic Bilbao, Atlético Madrid, Barcelona, Celta Vigo, Getafe, Girona, Mallorca, Osasuna, Rayo Vallecano, Real Madrid, Real Sociedad, Sevilla, Valencia, and Tenerife. The victor of the match between Unionistas and Villarreal will be the final side to go to the eighth round of the competition.
