Hello everyone. Welcome to MARCA’s English live blog. This time we will be looking at the Copa del Rey Round of 16 match between Racing Santander and Barcelona, which was played at El Sardinero.
Barcelona come into tonight’s match on the back of Sunday’s victory over Real Madrid in the Supercopa de España. The Catalan side won 3-2 against Los Blancos, with Rafinha scoring twice and Robert Lewandowski scoring his own.
This is Barcelona’s 10th straight win in all competitions, and the first time they have conceded a goal in six games. No team has won the cup more than Barcelona, who won their 32nd Copa del Rey trophy last season by defeating Real Madrid in the final.
The Blaugrana will be hosted by Racing Santander, who are tied at the top of the La Liga HYPERMOTION standings with Las Palmas on points. Due to a decline in form, the hosts have won just one of their last five matches.
However, that victory came against Villarreal, who are in third place in the La Liga EA SPORTS standings, in the previous round of the Copa del Rey. Juan Carlos Arana scored two goals before the break, giving Racing Santander a 2-1 victory and eliminating Marcelino’s team from the competition.
The last time the two teams met was back in the 2011/12 season, which was Racing Santander’s last season in Spain’s top flight.
