According to a report on January 9, before the Copa del Rey, Barcelona missed the MSN of Messi, Suarez and Neymar. They posted a photo of Messi, Neymar and Suarez after winning the previous Copa del Rey trium, with the caption: The Copa del Rey returns today.
Barcelona played in the third round of the Copa del Rey this time, against the weaker team in the fourth division, and in the third round of the Copa del Rey, the Spanish Association B team Barbastro, away. The opponent does not even have ID photos on some platforms, and even the names of the players are not available, and the goals scored in the game are marked by the team players. But in the face of such a weak team, this Barcelona team played very hard, and in the end it was only a narrow 3-2 victory. In the final moments of the game, Barcelona was even beaten by their opponents.
Although they won the La Liga title last season, the strategic planning was not successful, and Lewandowski, who was used to replace Messi, has become old and worse, and it has begun to be reported that he may go to the United States or Saudi Arabia for retirement this year. Other new signings have not been able to play consistently, and Barcelona's competitiveness is average.
In a homegrown cup like the Copa del Rey, Barcelona was a regular in the past. For example, MSN, who was officially missed by Barcelona before the game, they worked together at Barcelona for four years, won three championships, and won three consecutive championships from 15 to 17 years. In 2015, Barcelona also won the five-time crown, beating more than 10 different league and cup titles in the world.
