FC Barcelona faces Salamanca in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey this Thursday (7:30 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
It is a Barça in full crisis which travels to Salamanca to try to continue its journey in the Copa del Rey. Fallen in La Liga, outclassed by its rival Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final, the Catalan club has a response to give in this competition that it cannot neglect.
Weakened by this delicate period, Xavi mobilized his troops and responded to criticism. “It’s normal, we are Barça and it’s about winning. On the day in Madrid, in La Liga, we played very well, but it’s about winning. If you watch Luis Aragones’ video, it’s about winning, winning and winning again. If we don’t win and we don’t win titles, there will be consequences, but because we won and we won titles, I’m still here. I don’t know what reality you see, but it’s mine.”
The expected compositions
Salamanca : Cacharron – Gimenez, Ramiro, Ruiz, Rojo – Planas, Tur, Rastrojo, Gomez – Urain, Slavy.
FC Barcelona : Pena – Kounde, Fort, Christensen, Balde – Gundogan, de Jong, Pedri – Joao Felix, Vitor Roque, Ferran Torres.

This match between Salamanca and FC Barcelona will be broadcast this Thursday evening on L’Equipe Live, from 7:30 p.m. It will also be possible to follow it in streaming via lequipe.fr.
