"Barcelona now know their opponents for the round of 32 of this season's Copa del Rey, having been drawn against Club Deportivo Guadalajara - a side currently competing in Primera Federacion, Group 1. The tie will see the Blaugrana travel to the modest yet historic Estadio Pedro Escartin in Guadalajara, where Pere Marti's team will welcome one of the giants of Spanish football."
"Their manager, Pere Marti, is no stranger to Spanish football. A former defensive midfielder with experience at clubs such as Villarreal, Elche and Malaga, he retired in 2011 before transitioning into coaching three years later. Marti took charge of Guadalajara in 2024, and since then he has overseen 51 matches, securing 28 wins, 13 draws and 10 defeats, which is an impressive record that reflects steady development within the squad."
Club Deportivo Guadalajara will host Barcelona in the Copa del Rey round of 32 at Estadio Pedro Escartín. Guadalajara compete in Primera RFEF Group 1 and qualified for this stage after victories over Cacereno and AD Ceuta. The team remains in the relegation zone despite a recent win against Osasuna Promesas. Between late September and late November Guadalajara recorded one win, five draws and five losses across 11 matches. Founded in 1947, the club plays in a 6,000-capacity stadium. Pere Marti became manager in 2024 and has overseen 51 matches with 28 wins, 13 draws and 10 defeats.
