Hercules vs. Barcelona: 2016 Spanish Copa Del Rey Leg 1 Live Stream, TV Info

Barcelona travel down Spain’s west coast to Alicante for the first leg of their Copa del Rey round-of-32 clash against Hercules on Wednesday, where manager Luis Enrique’s side are chasing a return to winning ways.

The Blaugrana drew 1-1 at Real Sociedad on Sunday to fall six points adrift of La Liga leaders Real Madrid, but victory in the domestic tournament could give fans swift reason to feel more upbeat about the campaign.

A big win will be expected of Barcelona if they’re to ensure the simplest route into the round of 16, although Enrique can ill afford to rest too many players and risk the result.
