Copa del Rey 2017/18

[Horatio]

So what? Real, Barca, Atletico, Valencia weren't able to draw one another or something? Rigged!

Are the semis already paired?

I guess they wanted the best possible semis.

No travel so that is a good thing.

We need to follow the same recipe as with Celta. More of a back-up team away, keep it tight with a draw or even a narrow loss, and pulverize them on Camp Nou.

Well, we got worst team remaining in the competition, RM got second worst too. Top 6 teams in Liga along 9th and 14th are the last 8 in the competition so there wasn't an easy draw tbf

 

[kobby]

Will there be another draw for the semi-finals?

Isn't Alaves the worst?

 

[Morten]

We got this, no way we go out to them in a two legged tie.

Thats the problem, isnt it? Most other countries have only one match, making it more interesting and unpredictable.
Two-legs favors the big teams too much.

 

[Barcaman]

One leg tie would be best. Same for Spanish Supercup.

Would be less profitable, so won't happen.

Germany has only one tie I think. England plays non-stop, stupid )) . So Spain is in the middle...

 

[Zizou]

I searched to see who Barca plays after the quarterfinal is it Real?

Assuming they win their match with Leganes?

Isn't it supposed to be the other way around? Pulverize them first on away and play a not so strong team at Camp Nou to rest our starters. It's easier if we already have the lead going in to the 2nd leg.

No, because on their home ground they will play dirty as hell.

Not known yet, there will be a draw after quarterfinals.
