As the second round of the Copa del Rey nears its conclusion, the eagerly awaited draw for the Round of 32 is just around the corner, set to determine Barcelona’s opponent in this critical stage of the tournament.
Barcelona, alongside other teams such as Real Madrid, Athletic Bilbao, and Mallorca, will enter the Round of 32 after securing their spots. The draw, scheduled for Monday, will be key in identifying which team the Catalan club will face in their first challenge of the competition.
The Countdown to the Draw: Barcelona Prepares for Its Opponent in the Copa del Rey
Barcelona is expected to face a team from the second division (Segunda División) in the next round. So far, teams like Barbastro, Pontevedra, and Logroñés from the Segunda RFEF, and Ourense from the Primera RFEF, have qualified for the Round of 32.
However, with ten remaining fixtures still to be played this Thursday, there’s room for more surprises, intensifying the competition.
As Barcelona readies itself for the tournament, they will need to remain cautious against lower-league teams that have already shown their ability to challenge top-tier opposition.
Clubs like Barbastro and Pontevedra have proven that with determination and tactical discipline, they can make a significant impact in knockout competitions.
With the tournament heating up and potential shocks still possible, all eyes will be on Monday’s draw to determine which team Barcelona and the other Supercopa sides will face in the Round of 32.
