Barcelona fresh from a debacle in the Supercopa de Espana will have their eyes set on the prestigious Copa del Rey now.
Barca under Quique Setien won at the weekend against Granada and will be confident of taking on an opposition not even playing in La Liga in Ibiza.

Ibiza know their chances of progression are tough in the Copa del Rey and they will learn a lot from it.
Pablo Alfaro will tell his players to go out their compete and give it their 100%. Let’s see what happens.
