PBP: Copa del Rey - Semifinal, 2nd Leg | Valencia CF v FC Barcelona | 8 February 2018 [R]

5 minutes of coutinho > 45 minutes of shitmes , why the hell did he start in the first place

 

I reckon we might see Mina play at the weekend. Let's face ir, Valverde hasn't done a thing wrong all season.

 

Well I think Mina will get to come on in about 10-15 minutes, should partner with Pique since Umtiti will miss the next leg. That said, maybe best to rest injured Pique.

We also should get Suarez out (or remind him not to get a card). Same with Alba (EDIT - but Digne not on the bench and has broken finger).

 

Yeah, I think that's what will happen...stakes too high and too deep if something were to happen with Mina in.

Gomes starting though? I suspect he's trying to rest others...hes not trying to Dembele Coutinho now.

 

Two hand balls on back to back shots, but OK to not call a PK.

 

Still need to keep them out. I doubt they're gonna find 3 goals this late, of course, but they're certainly capable of it so we still gotta play.

 

Goddammit we can't hold possession right now.

 

Mina getting set to enter.

 

Alba off shift Umtiti to LB? Bring on Mina?

 

How did we not score?

How did we not score?

How?

 

What a save! Point blank!

Crakitic!!!!!!!!!!!! 0-2, 0-3 agg.

 

RAKITIC, Suarez with a brace of assists.

 

MINA on for Pique

 

How was Messi's first half? I had a medical appointment and missed the first half. By his standards, his second half has seemed pretty weak to me. In particular, his sense of when to get rid of the ball has seemed really off.

 

Barça onto fifth consecutive cup final.
Valencia onto sixth consecutive defeat.

Barring a Liga collapse, Sevilla v Barcelona will also be the Supercopa for the start of next season.
