No respite for the Blaugrana! Four days after his victory in the Spanish Super Cup against Real Madrid in the final (3-1), FC Barcelona is already on the bridge. Indeed, the men of Xavi Hernández face this Thursday at the Alfonso Murube stadium in the round of 16 of the King’s Cup the modest team of AD Ceuta, club of Primera RFEF, the Spanish third division. The objective is clear for the Barcelonians, largely favorites in this part, to pass this new round in order to reach the quarter-finals and extend their good series. However, it will be necessary to avoid a new incredible scenario which had seen the Catalan formation win against Intercity in extra time during the previous match in the competition (3-4, ap).
A meeting that will be followed live live commented on the Foot Mercato site from 8 p.m. For this eighth final of the King’s Cup, Xavi decided to opt for a formation organized in 4-3-3 with many usual frames left to rest. The defensive line will consist of Hector Bellerin, Eric Garcia, Marcos Alonso and Jordi Alba, while the goalkeeper position will be occupied by Inaki Pena. In the middle, Xavi decides to trust the trio made up of Pablo Torre, Sergi Roberto and Franck Kessie. Finally, the attack will be led by Robert Lewandowski at the forefront, accompanied by Raphinha and Ferran Torres.
Team compositions:
Barça: Pena – Bellerin, Garcia, M.Alonso, Alba – Kessie, S.Roberto, Torre – Raphinha, Lewandowski, Torres
