Luis Enrique’s young Barcelona side offered a glimpse of what the future might hold for the Catalans by sticking eight past Huesca in a comprehensive Copa Del Rey fourth round second leg win at Camp Nou.
Pedro Rodriguez scored a first half hat-trick against the third-tier opposition, with Barca easing into the next round of the competition with a 12-1 aggregate scoreline after a 4-0 first leg victory. But it was the Catalans’ young, fringe players who provided the brightest highlights for the home side.
Sergi Roberto, Sandro Ramirez and 18-year-old debutant Adama Traore, as well as Andres Iniesta and Adriano, all found the net, with Huesca netting a late consolation goal through Gaspar following some slack marking from a corner kick with just minutes left.
