Pedro scores 2 for Barça

Pedro was the star of the squad last night as FC Barcelona beat Cultural Leonesa in an away match for the Copa del Rey.

Pep Guardiola was fielding a squad with 6 regulars resting and Pinto in place of Valdes – with a close to full strength team, things went very wrong for Real Madrid on Tuesday night when they were thrashed 4-0 by lightweight Alcorcon, so this could have been a risky strategy and the Copa del Rey often springs surprises.

The return match will be on November 10-12 (to be confirmed) and the winner will play either Real Madrid or Alcorcon. Tickets for Barcelona v Cultural Leonesa are now available.

0-1 Pedro (min 40)
0-2 Pedro (min 52)
