Just three days after clinching the Supercopa de España with a stunning 5-2 victory over arch-rivals Real Madrid, FC Barcelona gear up for another high-stakes encounter. The Catalan giants face Real Betis in a challenging Round of 16 tie in the Copa del Rey 2024/25. The match will be held at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Barcelona on Thursday, January 16, 2025, at 1:30 AM IST.
Barcelona enter the game with excellent momentum. The attacking trio of Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, and Robert Lewandowski has been in scintillating form, and the team will hope to continue their dominant run. However, Real Betis, sitting 10th in La Liga, could prove a tricky opponent. Their previous league encounter this season ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw, showcasing the competitiveness between the two sides.
Betis will rely heavily on the creativity and experience of former Real Madrid midfielder Isco, especially with Argentine star Giovani Lo Celso sidelined due to injury. The Catalans will have to maintain focus to avoid any surprises, as the Copa del Rey is known for its unpredictability.
