Official: Barcelona learn their opponents for 2024-25 Copa del Rey Round of 32

As Barcelona get set to begin their Copa del Rey campaign in January, they have learned their first opponents in the competition.

The Blaugrana are one among four La Liga teams that will enter the cup competition in the Round of 32 stages, alongside Real Madrid, Athletic Club, and RCD Mallorca, all of whom will be competing in the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia next month.

Prior to that though, they will have to tackle the Round of 32 in Copa del Rey in a one-off away tie against a team from the Second Division RFEF – Barbastro, UD Logroñés, Pontevedra and Deportiva Minera were the possible opponents.

Now, the draw, conducted today at the RFEF Headquarters at Las Rozas has seen Barcelona get paired against Barbastro.

The two teams already faced off at this exact stage last season, with the Catalans prevailing 3-2 in a game that was too close to their liking. Now, they will lock horns with the Huesca-based outfit again next month away from home.
