Barcelona secured a 2-0 victory over Deportivo Guadalajara in the Copa del Rey third round to advance, maintaining their strong form as holders with 32 titles historically.

  • The result sustains FC Barcelona's momentum as they balance domestic and European aims, backed by seven wins in their last eight matches and 32 Copa del Rey trophies as holders.
  • Kicking off at 21:00 CET, the match was timed for both local and international audiences, with coverage on ESPN Select, fuboTV and the ESPN App at 15:00 ET / 12:00 PT for U.S. viewers.
