Barcelona and Real Madrid find out opponents as Copa del Rey Round of 32 draw is made

The Spanish Supercup quartet of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Athletic Club have all found out their opponents for their first involvement in the Copa del Rey, after the Round of 32 draw took place on Tuesday. Games will be scheduled for next week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday before the final weekend of La Liga fixtures in 2025.

The draw was made at the headquarters of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) at Las Rozas, with the Spanish Supercup teams having missed the opening two rounds due to their involvement in the tournament in Saudi Arabia. All sides in leagues below La Liga were seeded as home draws, including the four sides from the third tier; Atletico Baleares, Talavera, Guadalajara and Real Murcia.

Barça could bet on Ferran Torres for the striker position next season. Signing someone depends on the financial situation of the club. @angelperezpx

Barcelona, Atletico and Real Madrid face third-tier opposition

Holders Barcelona will face Guadalajara, traveling most of the way to the Spanish capital, where they will play at the 6,000 capacity Pedro Escartin. They knocked out Ceuta in the last round 1-0, while headliners from the previous fixtures Atletico Baleares will face Atletico Madrid. The Mallorqui side beat Espanyol by the same scoreline.

The signing that could have changed Atlético Madrid’s history: Ronaldo Nazario was very close to joining the rojiblancos both during his time at Cruzeiro and later when he was at PSV, tonight’s opponent.
