Wednesday 7 January is a big day for two reasons. Later in the day Barça face Athletic Club in the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup, but before that they will discover their opponent in the Copa del Rey last 16, with the draw taking place at 1pm CET at the Spanish FA headquarters in Las Rozas.

Barça booked their place in the round of 16 with a 2–0 win away to Deportivo Guadalajara on 16 December. One tie from the previous round remained unresolved until Tuesday, when Granada faced Rayo Vallecano, completing the line-up for the next stage of the competition.
