"Having secured four consecutive wins after their stumble against Real Sociedad, Barcelona returns to the field on Tuesday night to take on Albacete in the Copa del Rey. The Spanish Cup is now in the quarterfinal stage, and a win tomorrow will take the Catalans to the final four of the competition. They must, however, take down the team that eliminated Real Madrid from the tournament."
"Albacete's run in the Copa del Rey this season has been impressive on multiple levels, so much so that one cannot claim they were plainly fortunate on any level. They took on Leganes in the second round of the competition and took them down by a 2-1 scoreline within regulation time to get past a team that was recently in the first division."
Barcelona has won four consecutive matches since the loss to Real Sociedad and will face Albacete in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals. A victory will send Barcelona into the tournament semifinals. Albacete eliminated Real Madrid and progressed after beating Leganes and knocking out Celta Vigo on penalties. The hosts recovered from a relegation threat to a four-game winning streak and have risen to 12th in the Segunda División. Playing at their home stadium, Albacete will be motivated with nothing to lose, while Barcelona must manage pressure and the crowd to advance.
