Barcelona visit Spanish third-division side Guadalajara to begin their 2025–26 Copa del Rey campaign.
Barcelona are the most successful side in competition history and enter the tournament as reigning holders after defeating Real Madrid in the 2024–25 final. Meanwhile, Guadalajara aim to make the round of 16 for the first time in club history.
It’s the first ever meeting between these two clubs in what will be the definition of David vs. Goliath. Still, in arguably the biggest game in club history, Guadalajara aims to pull off the monumental upset.
Hansi Flick’s side will likely deploy a makeshift XI, saving some key players for the weekend. Barcelona hope they fare better against Guadalajara than their second team, Barça Atlètic, who have lost three of the four matches they’ve played against their round of 32 foes.
Here’s how fans can catch Barcelona’s Copa del Rey clash vs. Guadalajara on Tuesday night.
