"In a fresh update reported by Mundo Deportivo, it has been revealed that Racing Santander, Barça's opponent in the round of 16, have decided to pay tribute to the Blaugrana with a guard of honour ahead of kick-off. This decision carries extra significance given the context of Barcelona's Super Cup victory. Racing will become the first club to formally acknowledge Barça's title win on the pitch, especially after Real Madrid chose not to extend the same sporting courtesy during the trophy presentation."
"The match is scheduled at the historic Campos de Sport de El Sardinero, a venue that has not welcomed Barcelona since 2011, which is why for Racing supporters, this makes the evening a special occasion. Barcelona arrive at the tie fresh from lifting the Spanish Super Cup after a dramatic Clasico final. The decisive match ended in Barça's favour thanks to two goals from Raphinha and another from Robert Lewandowski."
Racing Santander will form a guard of honour to welcome Barcelona before the Copa del Rey round of 16 match at Campo de Sport de El Sardinero. Racing will be the first club to formally acknowledge Barcelona's Spanish Super Cup win on the pitch after Real Madrid declined the same sporting courtesy during the trophy presentation. The fixture marks Barcelona's first visit to El Sardinero since 2011 and is sold out, with season-ticket seats taken. Barcelona arrive having won the Super Cup after a dramatic Clasico in which Raphinha scored twice and Robert Lewandowski added another. Racing's first team currently plays in the Second Division with growing hopes of promotion.
