In stark contrast to the turmoil in Madrid, FC Barcelona is moving forward with confidence. Tonight, the Blaugrana face Racing Santander in the Copa del Rey round of 16, naturally stepping in as favorites against the second-division side.

Riding a strong wave of momentum, Hansi Flick's men could approach this fixture with a calculated squad rotation. The German tactician has a confident group at his disposal, fully capable of staying on course despite any adjustments.

The main boost comes from the official return of João Cancelo, who has been reinstated to the squad. This is a timely reinforcement for a Barça side progressing with precision and ambition.
