Barça drawn against CE L’Hospitalet in the Copa
FC Barcelona won’t have far to travel for their opening game of this season’s Copa del Rey. The blaugrana have been drawn against local side CE L’Hospitalet, and will play the first leg away on November 9 with the return on December 21st at the Camp Nou. The encounter will be the first official meeting between the two sides.
CE L’Hospitalet, managed by ex-Barça youth product Jordi Vinyals, will host FC Barcelona on November 9 at the Estadi La Feixa Llarga, less than 10km away from Camp Nou, which will host the second leg on December 21.
This will be the first time these two sides have played each other in an official match. Their most recent encounter, in last season’s Copa Catalunya third place game, ended in a 2-0 victory for Barça with goals from Dos Santos and Jonathan Soriano.
At the moment, L’Hospitalet is eighth in Group III in the Segunda B division.

well they have a youth graduate of FC Barcelona,Toni Velamazán appeared 11 times for the first team during 1995–96, under Johan Cruyff
We won 2-0 last with Barca B players only
Sorry, but I cant help wondering, how is it that we, RM, Sevilla, Villareal all gets some poor teams and the following gets these – these fixtures looks nearly like fights between equals, to some extent.
Racing-Rayo Vallecano
Deportivo-Levante
Mallorca-Sporting
Getafe-Malaga
Real Sociedad-Granada
Almeria-Osasuna
I believe the teams that are playing in Europe get drawn against the Segunda B division sides, while the remaining teams from the first and second division are drawn against each other (which is why the rest of match-ups seem more equal). A rather grossly unfair distribution, but I guess the Spanish federation is hoping its teams in European competition will focus on that, rather than this round of the Copa del Rey.
Thanks Amanda, got your point.

OT: Video game with Messi celebrating by dancing Michael Jackson moonwalk : http://terrikon.com/posts/99001
Haha very nice. Messi is from another planet as they say, so maybe he should start celebrating like that.
Villarreal, not Vila-real.
No, I think Vila-real is perfectly fine. Dont ask me why, but it is correct.
I believe Villarreal is the Spanish (Castellano) name, while Vila-Real is the local Valencian name (and I think Valencian is very similar to Catalan). Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villarreal
and look at footnote 1 at the end of the article.
Yeah, I've seen that way of writing the club name several times from reputable sources.
It's spelled as Vila-real at the Camp Nou on the scoreboard. It's the Catalan spelling.
This year we have to win the Copa Del Ray no matter what!
Hope that's not all we win;).
line up in this game:
Pinto
Adriano/Montoya- Fontas Bartra – Max
Thiago Keita JDS/S.Roberto
Pedro Cuenca Kiko/Adriano
At least we dont have to go to africa this time!
Will the timeline interfere with the CWC? December 21st seems to be a little late doesn't it?
Our B team is more than good enough to beat them. Add in Pinto, Maxwell, Fontas, and Thiago, and they should be able to win 2-0 comfortably. Our team has already played an absurd amount of games, and it's going to be getting worse. We need every opportunity to rest, and there is no reason why any of our starters should play.
Pinto (Mino)
Montoya-Bartra-Fontas-Maxwell (Muniesa, Sergi Gomez)
Thiago-JDS-Sergi Roberto (Espinosa, Keita/Riverola)

i don’t think grimi will play.
however, it's a "catalan derby"!
