Barbastro will endeavour to cause one of the biggest upsets in the history of Spanish football when they welcome La Liga champions Barcelona in the last-32 stage of the Copa del Rey on Sunday night.
The home side operate in Spain's fourth tier, and this will be comfortably the biggest game in their 90-year history, while Barcelona will be aiming to progress in a competition that they have won a record 31 times.
Barbastro caused a shock in the last round of the Copa del Rey, as they recorded a 1-0 victory over La Liga outfit Almeria, with Franc Carbonell netting the only goal of the contest in the 28th minute.
This is already their best performance in the Copa del Rey in their 90-year history, and Sunday's fixture will be a historic affair for all involved with the football club.
Barbastro are the overwhelming underdogs, but they will enter the game in strong form, winning four of their last five matches in all competitions, remaining unbeaten in the process.
