Copa Quarter Final: Valencia - Barca 0-5

[Andresito]

Naive because it's simple to think if it worked then it will work now, despite knowing Valencia most likely won't play the same way.

Now this

The XI Hansi Flick used in training today. @DavidIbanez5

Szczesny
Kounde Cubarsí Eric Balde
De Jong Pedri Fermín
Lamine Ferran Raphinha

Risky business with that line up if tire so many starters a few days before head off to Seville.

 

[Horatio]

Key match for us. I personally see Copa del Rey as a valuable trophy, even if most don't agree.

Except for season where Koeman won it.

Except for season where Koeman won it.

True, bottling the league vs Granada and Levante like idiots made that Copa seem bitter.

 

[JamDav1982]

He did well to even get Barca into position to win that league after the turmoil of Barca the previous summer.

Shame they couldnt see it through.

The Copa meaning little I am sure was an argument before any league was lost though.

 

[Barcaman]

Copa was always important. I remember some fantastic campaigns way back from the 90s. Ronaldo season in particular.

Won against Real 4-3 on agg and Atletico (reigning champions 7-6 on agg). That Pizzi winner goal still in my memory.

Final was memorable too against hot Betis with Finidi, Alfonso. Extra time winner from Figo.

Copa only matters if it's won as a double or against Madrid.

 

[Horatio]

2-2 Siuuuu

 

[JamDav1982]

Copa only matters if it's won as a double or against Madrid.

Or if get humiliated by Real Madrid with worst home defeat to them in decades like under Xavster.

Speak for yourself.

You just think you do, there is a big difference.

The game won't be shown on television in the United States; streaming on ESPN+ only.

 

[JamDav1982]

Flick thinks they will come out and press again..not so sure after last time they tried it.

Although maybe they just go all or nothing and take Barca on and if go out then not too unhappy as leaves them free to focus on league.
