The general director of the CD Leganés, Martín Ortega, has lamented that his team has had the “most complicated” tie, after the draw for the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey, which will still be played in a single game and that they He has paired with FC Barcelona, current runner-up, at the Camp Nou.

“We have played the most complicated tie against Barcelona and at the Camp Nou. But we did not resign, two years ago we played Real Madrid in a double game and now it is more complicated. We will go out to compete, to give everything, and see what happens, “he told the media after the draw.

In this sense, he made it clear that, if he could not change his rival, they would rather play at home. “We would have liked it in Butarque, playing against Barcelona is always a pleasure, but for our fans it would have been much better to play in Butarque. And, of course, the chances of passing would have been greater,” he said.
