JAKARTA - Barcelona benefited from the draw for the last 16 of the Copa del Rey, which was held by RFEF through its official website on Friday, against Rayo Vallecano's second-tier team.
Las Blaugranas previously struggled past third-caste Cornella and were forced to play extra time to claim a 2-0 win in last night's last 32 tie.
Meanwhile, Vallecano arrived in the last 16 by eliminating La Liga team Elche with a convincing 2-0 victory.
Barcelona's fate is far more fortunate than a number of other La Liga clubs, including Sevilla and Valencia who have to face each other in the last 16 based on the draw.
This will be Sevilla's fifth meeting with Valencia in the Copa del Rey. The two last met in the fourth round of the 2011/12 Copa del Rey which used a home-away format and Valencia won the aggressiveness of away goals with a score of 2-2 on aggregate.
Launching Antara, the third strata team, Alcoyano, who in the previous round created a surprise by overthrowing Real Madrid will face the team that has just won the Spanish Super Cup trophy, Athletic Bilbao, in the last 16 match.
Meanwhile, another third-tier team, Navalcarnero, will face another La Liga team, Granada, in the last 16.
Apart from Sevilla vs Valencia, two other round of 16 matches will bring together La Liga teams, namely Valladolid, who hosted Levante and Real Sociedad, who visit Real Betis headquarters.
Meanwhile, Villarreal and Osasuna will both face second tier teams, namely Girona and Almeria, in the last 16.
The specific schedule for the round of 16 has yet to be released but the series of matches are due to take place in the middle of the week 26-28 January.
