Intercity vs Barcelona

The Catalan giants will be hoping to emulate their La Liga success in this competition and advance to the next round of the tournament.

The Intercity vs Barcelona, Copa del Rey 2022-23 will be played at the Estadio José Rico Pérez in Alicante. It should be a routine win for Barcelona with the visitors scoring a few goals in the game. Having won the Copa Del Rey 31 times, they are the most successful team in this competition. Wingbacks Cristo Romero and Guillem Jaime will be critical with their ability to run up and down the flanks. Xavi has endured some a tough time since taking over the reins of the club but he will be fully focused on going far in the competition. Intercity Sant Joan d’ Alacant play host to Barcelona in the Round of 32 of the Copa Del Rey with an aim to cause a massive upset in the competition.

Barcelona faces Intercity in a Spain Copa del Ray match at Estadio Jose Rico Perez in Alicante, Spain, on Wednesday, Jan. 4, 2022 (1/4/23).

“After a bad game you have to face up to reality in the best way possible, show that you can play well and win,” Lewandowski told DAZN television ahead of his first “clásico” against Real Madrid. “We have to remember that the team is still coalescing. In the Champions League we wanted to get past the group stage and see how far we could get, but it is not going well.” Club president Joan Laporta argued that the risk was worth getting the team back to winning major titles and past the painful exit of Lionel Messi. That left Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez with only Éric García and veteran Gerard Pique as center backs against Inter. A 3-3 draw at home against Inter Milan on Wednesday left it on the verge of another unwanted ticket to the Europa League. Robert Lewandowski, at least, has proven to be worth the money. “We have to change our focus,” Laporta said.

Live coverage as Barcelona enter the Copa del Rey at the round of 32 stage and visit Intercity in San Joan.

Dembélé gets a chance to run at Vadik and does his usual chop but again overruns the ball slightly and throws himself to the ground in the box. They twice tried to fast-track their progress earlier in their existence, first by proposing a merger with Novelda (and taking their place), but the move was halted by the federation as the two clubs were not geographically close enough. Torre makes a great run into the box but the pass is a little heavy and it runs away from him. Barcelona are on the attack but lose the ball and one pass from Solde sets Aaron clean through on goal. The ball dropped to him at the edge of the box but he dragged it wide via a touch from a defender. I've been a bit critical of his play in the final third but that was an absolutely delicious finish. It's been pretty quiet, most in attendance seem to have just fancied a night out at the soccer because Barcelona are in town. And almost a fourth for the visitors! A piece of wizardry there from Alba to pick out Baldé with the outside of his foot. Solde has been quiet since his hat-trick goal but he picks out a beautiful pass to find the run of Herrera. We have a huge game on Sunday and we have to focus on that. It's not the trophy Xavi is most desperate to win this season but after a few difficult years, any will be welcome to get the club back up and running.
