Cornella face Barcelona in Copa del Rey after stunning Atletico Madrid

Barcelona must find their way past the minnows who stunned Atletico Madrid after being drawn to face neighbours Cornella in their Copa del Rey opener.

Ronald Koeman's Barca side enter the competition at the last-32 stage and the record 30-time winners are sure to take Cornella seriously after their fellow Catalans earned a 1-0 win over Atletico on Wednesday.

Cornella's Camp Municipal stadium is situated less than 10 miles away from Barcelona's Camp Nou, making it a dream draw for the Segunda B side.
