Robert Lewandowski scored twice as Barcelona defeated fourth-tier Barbastro 4-0 on Saturday to go to the round of 16 and start their Copa del Rey season on a high note. To start the new year on a high note and recover from back-to-back La Liga losses, manager Hansi Flick selected a formidable squad for the trip.

Eric Garcia, a former Manchester City defender, gave the Catalans the lead with a powerful header into the goal in the twenty-first minute. Ten minutes later, Lewandowski scored to give the team a 2-0 lead. After two minutes, the Poland striker scored a third goal to bring his season total to 25 goals in all competitions. He did this by latching onto a clever pass from Pablo Toree and scoring the goal into the corner as the game entered its second half.

Following two assists, Torre grabbed the ball, took advantage of a mistake made by goalie Arnau Fabreg, and made it 4-0. In the 81st minute, Hansi Flick gave 16-year-old Toni Fernandez his senior debut, while Wojciech Szczesny, Barcelona's emergency signing, also made his debut for the team when the position was secured in the next round.

After returning from retirement, the former Poland goalkeeper joined the team in October to replace the injured Marc-Andre Ter Stegen. However, he had to wait to make his debut since Inaki Pena was beginning in the goalkeeper position. Barcelona's upcoming games include a Spanish Super Cup semifinal matchup against Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday and a La Liga matchup against Getafe on Sunday.
