Barcelona’s Spanish Cup Clash with Barbastro Holds a Unique Connection: Adria De Mesa, a La Masia Alumnus and Barbastro’s Top Scorer
As Barcelona gears up to face Barbastro in the Spanish Cup with a kickoff time of 9 pm Spain time, an intriguing connection between the two teams has come to light. Adria De Mesa, a former La Masia player, now serves as Barbastro’s top scorer this season.
De Mesa, reflecting on his time at the Barca academy, shared sentiments about his allegiance despite being on the opposing side this Sunday. “Everyone loves the two big teams in the league, but in my case… I have played for Barça, I am from Barça. I want Barça to always win, except this Sunday,” he conveyed to the Catalans’ official website.
In a playful note, when questioned about the prospect of securing a matchday shirt from Robert Lewandowski, De Mesa humorously responded, “I will try. I’ll show him my number 9, to see if he is encouraged, I hope so.” The unique connection adds an extra layer of intrigue to this Spanish Cup encounter.
