Ronald Koeman’s men face Sevilla again in midweek for the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final tie. Barcelona need to overturn a 2-0 deficit to advance to the final of the competition. The Blaugrana have won the Copa Del Rey a record 23 times, but last won the competition in 2018; they lost to Valencia in the title match the next year.
On that note, let’s have a look at the latest Barcelona news as on 28th February, 2021

Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman set up Barcelona differently in the La Liga win against Sevilla on Saturday. The Dutchman employed a three-at-the-back for the first time this season, but the change worked like a charm.
Koeman explained his change of tactics in an interview with Marca. He told the publication in this regard:
Pedri could miss a few weeks due to injury
Meanwhile, Pedri came off injured in the 2-0 win against Sevilla on Saturday. The 18-year-old seemed to have injured his left leg and had to be subbed off in the 71st minute.
