Barcelona has followed up its rout of Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final with a comfortable 5-1 win over Real Betis in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey.

Barcelona continued their dominant start to 2025 with a comfortable victory over Real Betis to secure their spot in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals. Gavi opened the scoring only three minutes into the contest to send Barcelona on their way to victory.

The previous youngest side picked by Hansi Flick this season was for the away match to Osasuna on 28 September 2024 – a heavily rotated side – with young players like Lamine Yamal only appearing off the bench. That day saw Barça lose 4-2 with a team with an average age of 23 years and 292 days old.
