Holders Barcelona will face familiar
opponents in the shape of Athletic Bilbao in
the last 16 of the Copa del Rey after Friday’s
draw paired the sides together.

Barca will go to San Mames for the first leg in
the first week in January before hosting the
Basque side in the return at the Camp Nou a

Barcelona have beaten Athletic in three Copa
del Rey finals in the last eight seasons and
also emerged victorious when the sides
clashed in the quarter-finals last season.
Luis Enrique’s side won the trophy by
beating Sevilla 2-0 after extra time in the
final in Madrid.
Sevilla have been drawn against Real Madrid,
with the first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu, in
a repeat of the UEFA Supercup at the start of
this season.

Madrid won 3-2 after extra time in the

thanks to a late goal by Dani Carvajal.
They will go to Seville for the return leg days
before the sides meet in La Liga at the
Sanchez Pizjuan on Sunday, January 15.

been drawn against Real Sociedad.
