How to Watch Albacete vs. Barcelona on TV, Live Stream

No club has enjoyed more Copa del Rey success than Barcelona, and the proud Catalonians are aiming to secure a 33rd crown this season.
Hansi Flick’s side, who are the current holders, have so far bypassed minnows Guadalajara and Segunda leaders Racing Santander to set up Tuesday night’s potentially enthralling quarterfinal clash.
Albacete are riding a wave of David-like momentum heading into this one, having euphorically overcome the Goliath of Real Madrid via a 94th-minute winner in the round of 16. Celta Vigo have also been slain on their fairytale journey, and now they’re targeting a first Copa del Rey semifinal berth since 1994–95.
The Belmonte will be bouncing for yet another grand occasion in Castille-La Mancha—the setting of Miguel de Cervantes’ landmark 17th-century novel, Don Quixote.

What’s Next for Barcelona?
Barcelona’s automatic progression into the Champions League round of 16 means the La Liga leaders have a much quieter February. They have just three more games this month, and they’re next in action on Saturday afternoon, when Mallorca visit Camp Nou.
Should they triumph in Albacete, Barça will play the first leg of their semifinal later this month.
