This afternoon's Barcelona rivals play in a stadium that will make the vast majority of Barça players feel at home.
The Cartagonova stadium was built with the plans of the Miniestadi of FC Barcelona, so walking through its corridors, changing in its changing rooms and playing on the grass will be a strange sensation, especially for those of the branch that played in the 'Mini' until the course past.
Cartagena is the leader of Group 4 of the Second Division B with 27 points and so far this season has only conceded a goal playing at home. Of the 12 league games, they have won 8, they have drawn 3 and they have only fallen into one. In the goal section, they have 11 in favor and only two against.
The 15,105 spectators that the Cartagonova can host will see FC Barcelona play for the third time in history. The two previous Barça duels in Cartagena date from 1988, where the Catalans won 0-3, and 2013, where Barça won 1-4 with the ‘Tata’ Martino on the bench. Both precedents in Copa del Rey.
