Barcelona’s first opponent in the Copa del Rey will be Real Murcia, a team from Segunda Division B, Spain’s third tier.
Los Pimentoneros are currently 13th in Segunda B’s Group 4. They’re a team with some history, having played 18 seasons in the top flight, the last coming in 2008.
Barcelona won both their meetings that season, with a 4-0 at Camp Nou and a 5-3 win away. Barcelona's historical record against Murcia is: 42 played, 30 won, 7 drawn, and 5 lost.
Murcia in their time have been coached by two Barcelona legends: Antoni Ramallets and Laszlo Kubala.
