After its rout in the Spanish Super Cup against Real Madrid (4-1), FC Barcelona resumes with its 8th final of the Copa del Rey against a D3, Unionistas, Thursday evening in Salamanca. The match kicks off at 7:30 p.m., with free broadcast in France on the L’Equipe website.
The probable line-up of Barça with understudies
Under pressure after the Clasico lost in the final of the Spanish Super Cup with a score of 4-1 against Real Madrid, Xavi should rest some starters for this round of 16 of the Copa del Rey against Unionistas, a third division team based in Salamanca . Robert Lewandowski could be spared, like Ilkay Gündogan and Pedri in midfield. Thus, Brazilian recruit Vitor Roque (18 years old) could experience his first start after two appearances. Ferran Torres and Joao Félix will probably complete the offensive sector. Héctor Fort, 17, has a chance to start on the right of defense.
The probable composition according to Mundo Deportivo: Iñaki Peña – Héctor Fort, Koundé, Christensen, Baldé – De Jong, Romeu, Fermin – Ferran Torres, Vitor Roque, Joao Félix.
On which channel to watch Unionistas-Barça?
Like the Spanish Super Cup, it is the L’Equipe group which has the rights to the Copa del Rey in France. But today’s FC Barcelona match will not be broadcast on the L’Equipe channel (TNT channel and therefore available on all operators). This match scheduled for 7:30 p.m. will only be followed on the L’Equipe website, on “live 3”, accessible free of charge by being registered on the site. The show Greg’s Team will officiate as usual from 6:30 p.m.
