Barcelona debuts in the Copa del Rey in Barbastro with an eleven full of starters and with only one player from the reserve team, Héctor Fort, who will occupy the left back after Alejandro Balde is out due to illness. Cancelo will not be there either, injured. To make up for the Portuguese’s first loss, Xavi will move Koundé or Araújo to the right.
The eleven of FC Barcelona: Iñaki Peña; Koundé, Araújo, Christensen, Héctor Fort; Oriol Romeu, De Jong, Fermín, Raphinha, Ferran Torres and João Félix.
For now, the Brazilian Vitor Roque will start from the bench, who played his first minutes with the Barcelona shirt in Gran Canaria leaving good feelings. The Barcelona forward will be made up of Raphinha, Ferran Torres and João Félix, who regains ownership after being named at half-time in the match against Almería and being a substitute in Gran Canaria.
