Team News: Messi not involved against Levante

Barcelona manager Gerardo Martino has made a host of changes to his lineup for tonight's Copa del Rey tie against Levante.

Lionel Messi is omitted from the starting lineup, while Cristian Tello, who scored a hat-trick in the first leg, makes the first XI.

Jose Manuel Pinto starts in goal, Martin Montoya and Adriano deputise at full-back, and Marc Bartra starts in the heart of defence.

Sergi Roberto also gets the nod, with Andres Iniesta in support.

Meanwhile, Baba Diawara misses out on a starting berth for Levante this evening, after six weeks on the sidelines with an injury sustained against Elche.

Barcelona: Pinto, Montoya, Puyol, Bartra, Adriano, Song, Roberto, Iniesta, Tello, Fabregas, Sanchez

Levante: Jimenez, Juanfran, Vyntra, Karabelas, Nagore, El Adoua, Pinto, Rios, Garcia, Camarasa, Angel
