Robert Lewandowski has scored 84 goals across all competitions since joining Barcelona in July 2022
Robert Lewandowski scored twice as Barcelona comfortably dispatched Barbastro to reach the last 16 of the Copa del Rey.
Manager Hansi Flick named a strong team for the trip to the fourth-tier side as Barca looked to bounce back from successive La Liga defeats before the winter break.
Former Manchester City defender Eric Garcia set Barca on their way before Lewandowski met Pablo Torre's free-kick to head home.
Lewandowski struck again after half-time, latching on to a deft pass from Torre and rolling the ball into the corner to take his tally for the season to 25 goals across all competitions.
After laying on two assists, Torre got his name on the scoresheet when he profited from a mistake by goalkeeper Arnau Fabrega.
With a spot in the next round secured, 16-year-old Toni Fernandez was handed his senior debut in the 81st minute.
Barcelona are record 31-time winners of the Copa del Rey but have not lifted the trophy since 2020-21.
