After the win over Ceuta in the last 16 the blaugranes face the Basque club in the next round

FC Barcelona will face Real Sociedad in the quarter finals of this season's Copa del Rey at Spotify Camp Nou. 

Following the wins over Intercity in the last 32 and over Ceuta in the last 16, Xavi Hernández's team now face Real Sociedad in the quarter finals of the competition following the draw which took place on Friday at the headquarters of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). The game will be played on Wednesday 25 January at 9pm CET.

Then coached by Luis Enrique, Barça won 1-0 at Anoeta and then cruised to a 5-2 win at home. With Xavi Hernández among the players, Barça and Real Sociedad also met in 2013/14, this time in the semi-finals, and Barça also won, 3-1 on aggregate.
