Barcelona to start Copa del Rey defense against Guadalajara

FC Barcelona, the current Copa del Rey champions, will start their defense of the title by playing against a lower-tier team, Guadalajara, on Tuesday night.

Barcelona might make some changes to their team, with some players likely to start and others possibly making their first appearance after an injury.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid won their recent La Liga match against Alaves, with goals from Kylian Mbappe and Rodrygo.

Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao also have important matches coming up in the Copa del Rey.

Barcelona is currently leading La Liga, with Real Madrid four points behind.
