Should we be surprised @SirBalon? Do teams like those take it seriously at this stage? I took it on this season from the 3rd round of the Copa del Rey. In the early rounds you have the regional clubs that do take it seriously because promotion from the regional divisions is a complicated business and extremely difficult. But clubs from the top three divisions have straight forward top three promotions with the play-offs like we have in England. Those top three divisions unless they get to the rounds where the first division (La Liga) teams are subsequently included, then until that point they tend to play weakened teams.

Azeem Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I like the FA cup way better than the Copa del ray. The two legged ties makes the tournament less exiciting for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the smaller clubs that want it this way with two legs because it generates more revenue for them especially when they meet the La Liga boys.

I hope not because I hate replays in cup competitions. The game should be sorted out on the day with either extra-time or penalties is needed.

Atlético Madrid suffered quite a bit against Sant Andreu in the first leg too (like Villarreal in their respective first leg) and they were extremely convincing in their 4-0 win yesterday. That's the thing with cup football and all of its permutations associated with luck and how you feel on any given day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnivore Chris Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Dembele is really showing his quality now. I always had faith he would do as he is a highly talented young player. It was a good comeback as it could quite easily have ended in elimination last night after Levante's 2-1 win in the first leg. Messi also decisive as he has been in pretty much every game he's started this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
