Xavi’s men secured safe passage to the last 16 with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Linares Deportivo on Wednesday after coming from a goal behind.
Second-half strikes from Ousmane Dembele and Ferran Jutglà secured a comeback win and a game against the Basque giants. This is a rematch of last year’s Final, with Barça beating Athletic 4-0 in brilliant fashion to win their only trophy of last season.
Here’s the draw in full, which has some very tasty matchups including the Seville Derby:
Atlético Baleares vs Valencia
Girona vs Rayo Vallecano
Sporting Gijón vs Cádiz
Elche vs Real Madrid
Real Sociedad vs Atlético Madrid
Real Betis vs Sevilla
Athletic Bilbao vs Barcelona
Mallorca vs Espanyol
Once again the games will all be one-off matches with penalties and extra-time available if required. Barcelona’s trip to Bilbao will take place on 18 or 19 January after the Spanish Super Cup.
