FC Barcelona will be looking to book their place in the next round of Copa del Rey tomorrow evening when they host third-tier CF Villanovense at the Camp Nou. The Blaugrana have been in such incredible form as of late that it’s easy to forget that just a few weeks ago they travelled to Extremadura to take on the Segunda Division B minnows, only to stumble away with a goalless draw – by no means a disaster, but leaving them with a task to do at the Camp Nou tomorrow.
With regulations ensuring that Luis Enrique cannot field a team full of B team players, tomorrow promises to be an intriguing affair for the hosts; the toughest opponent not being the visiting side from Western Spain, rather being the Blaugrana themselves, and our oldest foe: complacency.
