Barcelona's quest for another piece of silverware faces a potential banana skin on Thursday as they take on a Racing Santander team riding high at the summit of the Spanish second tier.
At the top of La Liga, the Blaugrana claimed their first trophy of the season on Sunday, with a 3-2 victory over Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final in Jeddah, and will be keen to move a step closer to another cup triumph with a win today.
They take on a Santander team leading the pack at the top of the Segunda División and looking well placed for a return to La Liga, however, José Alberto's men come into this cup fixture amid a recent dip in form following three consecutive draws.
Racing Santander takes on Barcelona at the Estadio El Sardinero on Thursday, Jan. 15. Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. CET local time, making it a 3 p.m. ET and 12 p.m. PT start in the US, an 8 p.m. GMT start in the UK and a 7 a.m. AEDT kickoff in Australia on Friday.
Raphinha scored twice for Barcelona in their 3-2 win over Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final on Sunday.

How to watch Racing Santander vs. Barcelona anywhere with a VPN
If you're traveling abroad and want to watch soccer action away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming. It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds, and can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins.
VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and they can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security. However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN usage to access region-specific content. If you're considering a VPN for streaming, check the terms of service of the platform to ensure compliance.
If you choose to use a VPN, follow the installation instructions from the provider to make sure that you're connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN usage is crucial.
