FC Barcelona advanced to the round of 16 of the 2024-25 Copa del Rey with a comfortable victory on the field of UD Barbastro (0-4)<\/a>. The Huesca team, unlike last season’s matchup, barely put up any resistance to a Bar\u00e7a that sealed the match right after the start of the second half, thanks to a brace from Robert Lewandowski. The Polish striker scored in the 31st and 47th minutes to end a streak of three consecutive games without scoring that he closed 2024 with.<\/p> The ‘9’ found many opportunities to hurt Barbastro’s defense, especially through aerial play. In the 10th minute, he had his first clear chance, thanks to a cross from Pedri at mid-height that the experienced forward headed just wide. 20 minutes later, ‘Lewy’ extended the lead<\/strong> that the Catalans had achieved in the 21st minute thanks to a header from Eric Garc\u00eda.<\/p> \u26bd\ufe0f \u00a1\ud835\uddda\ud835\udde2\ud835\udde2\ud835\udde2\ud835\udde2\ud835\udde2\ud835\udde2\ud835\udde2\ud835\udde2\ud835\udde2\ud835\udde2\ud835\udde2\ud835\udde2\ud835\udde2\ud835\udddf! Once again, the Warsaw native prevailed in the air, redirecting a free kick from Pablo Torre from the right<\/strong>. The ball hit the back of a rival before ending up in the back of the net. After the break, in the first dangerous play of the second half, Torre again set up Lewandowski, this time with a through ball.
