FT: 1-0. Crazy Copa this year. Granada, Mirandes, Real Sociedad (2x winners, 7x finalists, last won 1986-87) and Athletic Bilbao (23x winners (2nd most), 37x finalists, last won 1983-84) are the semifinalists.
My, my, things are going well for us, now we just have to wait to get knocked out of the Champions League
On a positive note, better than losing in extra-time. Also we play Bilbao in the league the week before the CdR final. Maybe they'll rest their first team and we'll be able to score against Bilbao B.
First time since 2010 Barca have failed to reach the semifinals. An all-Basque final for the King’s Cup sounds interesting. lol
I miss seeing Craperto on the bench where he belongs! He's the bad omen! Now playing in attack! He's cursing the club.
Didn't look too bad. He wouldn't have played this weekend anyway (suspension). Hopefully will be okay for the following weekend, but that might be a stretch. Didn't look bad enough to keep him out of the Napoli match though.
Setien is right, at least his teams play nicer but they loose. Looks like a trophyless season. Handkerchiefs at Camp Nou please.
What's the idea behind using FDJ so high up the pitch and then also very often at the malfunctioning left side ? He should be used more like in the 2nd half vs Real Madrid in December. He's a number 6 not a forward.
problem is we're running out of attackers. Suarez and Dembele out for the season, and the geniuses in charge decided to offload Perez and Ruiz in January.
And Messi in poor form. I counted 5 times Messi being dispossessed of the ball in the final 15 minutes, plus the missed point-blank chance.
Consensus is we played well ... specially 2nd half. I think we only created 2 chances unless I am forgetting something. I didn't like the 2nd half.
