Xavi does not have full-backs, so he must improvise a defensive structure. With Cancelo injured and Balde unwell, the Barça coach places Héctor Fort, a young man from the reserve team, on the left flank of the defense made up of three centre-backs: Koundé, who will occupy the right side, Araujo and Christensen. This is how the Barbastro team appears in its debut cup competition at the Barbastro field.

There are also new developments in the midfield where Gündogan and Sergi Roberto rest, who already has starting status. It is the turn of Oriol Romeu and Fermín, leaving only Frenkie de Jong as the survivor of the traditional Barça.
And in the attack, Xavi gives Lewandowski a rest and still does not see Vitor Roque ready as a starter so he comes out with Raphinha, Ferran Torres and João Félix, who regains his place in the starting eleven after being a substitute against Las Palmas. The coach asks his players to come out “with all five senses” to avoid making mistakes in the Cup. Iñigo Martínez also remains on the bench.
