Interesting. Isn't L'Hospitalet, Barca's feeder club?

I guess they could be? Seems a little hard to have a feeder club in Spain since the reserve teams play on the same pyramid as the senior sides. They could be a replacement for Barcelona C since that team no longer exists.

When playing FM, they are listed as Barca's feeder team where they can loan out their B side players I guess.

I think Jordi Alba was born there

I do not see any players listed as on loan regarding this team and Barcelona B but I guess anything is possible.

One thing I do know is I hate the BS "draw" they have for this round of the cup. Here is how it goes...

Champions League/ Europa League teams v Segunda B teams

Remaining La Liga teams v Segunda Division teams

La Liga v La Liga (once all Segunda teams are drawn)



Total BS that tries to elimanate any early round upsets.

First leg of the round of 32 was played today. I cannot be bothered to list all the results so I will just include stuff that I think is unexpected.

Cádiz 0-0 Valencia

Mirandés 1-1 Villarreal

Alcorcón 1-1 Real Zaragoza

Celta Vigo 0-0 Espanyol

Córdoba 1-0 Real Betis

Deportivo La Coruña 3-1 Levante

For the Depor-Levante game only 1 player out of the 22 that started last weekend's match made was in the first 11 of the Copa del Rey match.

Last 16 Draw:
Mirandes v Racing Santander
Albacete Balompie v Athletic Bilbao
Alcorcon v Levante
Cordoba v Espanyol
Real Sociedad v Real Mallorca
Valencia v Sevilla
Barcelona v Osasuna
Real Madrid v Malaga

Barca can possibly play against Real Madrid in the quarterfinal.

The quarterfinals are looking quite interesting and I assume that Osasuna will not come back on Barcelona when I list these matchups.

Espanyol v Mirandés (Segunda B; they have started in the first round and have played 7 games already)

Albacete (Segunda)/ Athletic Bilbao v Mallorca

Valencia v Levante

Real Madrid v Barcelona

Damn it Weather, now you jinxed Barca.

very nice goal by Herrera

Muniain has been quite terrific. Albacete have to tug his shirt to stop him.

Smashing goal by Toquero

Fontas injured after 12 minutes. Barca forced to sub.

What a save.

Damn, that would have been a sexy goal for Osasuna.

Goal. 1-0 for Osasuna.

They are.

Messi coming on for Sanchez.

What a bench for Barca that was .

BARCELONA SUBSTITUTES: Valdes; Puyol, Fabregas, Busquets, Xavi, Abidal, Messi.

Sergio Roberto!!! 2-1 for Barca.

Good assist from Messi.

Another sexy Messi assist. Too bad Busquets was offside.

Well Barcelona did win the first leg 4-0 so giving up one goal tonight does not really matter to them.
