After working their way through the first three rounds of the Copa del Rey, Cultural Leonesa's reward is a two-legged affair with cup holders Barcelona.

Coach Josu Uribe told Marca that it is "a Copa del Rey match to enjoy" for his players, as it would be an "incredible" occasion.

"If the only game was in Leon, it would be easier" to qualify according to Uribe, but he knows that "a double header is very difficult".

As a result, all he is asking of his team is that "they play a good game on Wednesday" as they look to spring a surprise.

Even though they have needed penalties to progress in the first round and the third round of the competition, the mayor of Leon believes that Cultural can still win.

Francisco Fernandez affirmed that "the result should be a draw" in Leon, but, with considerable optimism, he proclaimed "a victory is possible".

Barcelona put six goals past Real Zaragoza at the weekend, and will be looking to pick up where they left off in last year's final. The Blaugrana eased to a 4-1 victory against Athletic Bilbao to lift the trophy.
