What’s better than a resounding success against the Madrid rival to rebuild your health? After having multiplied missteps at the end of the year, Barça got back on track by signing a victory which will remain in everyone’s memory. The Blaugrana crushed Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final on Sunday in Saudi Arabia (5-2). A success all the more notable as it is the second slap in the face inflicted on the Merengue this season.
Now it’s time for the Coupe du Roi, where the Lamine Yamal gang has legitimate ambitions. The Barcelona players face Betis Sevilla in the round of 16 this Wednesday evening. Logically favorites of this match, Barça should not underestimate a Betis team still capable of making shots against the Spanish big names.
The expected compositions
Barca: W. Szczesny – Kounde, Cubarsi, Martinez, A. Balde – Gavi, M. Casado, Pedri – L. Yamal, Lewandowski, Raphinha.
Betis: Vieites – R. Rodriguez, Natan, Llorente, Sabaly – Cardoso, Altimira, Ezzalzouli, Isco, Lo Celso – Bakambu.
Where to watch the match?
This round of 16 of the Copa del Rey between FC Barcelona and FC Sevilla will be broadcast this Wednesday on L’Equipe Live Foot, from 9 p.m.
