MATCH DETAILS:
“Espanyol” after the winter holidays started just a confrontation in the King’s Cup against the “Levante”. The first match was formed for the “parrots” unsuccessfully – at home they lost 1: 2, and very few people believed that the Catalan club will go further. Nevertheless, a confident victory over the “blue” with a score of 2: 0 gave a ticket to the next round, where the lot was determined by the opponents “Barcelona”. In addition to the “Levante”, the Catalans had a hard time in the current Cup before “Terif”. Having played a draw on the road 0: 0, they hardly pressed the opponent at home – 3: 2. In the example, however, “Espanyol” after the New Year managed to beat the “Malaga” 1-0 and played a draw with “Athletics” 1: 1.
“Barcelona” is now in a fantastic form, and there are no prerequisites for a game recession. Last weekend, the “blue-garnet” was taken out on the road “Real Sociedad”, strengthening its tournament position at the top. Now the Catalans are nine points ahead of the championship in Atlético, and they can afford to pay attention to the Cup. I must say that on the road while playing in the Cup is not the strongest team. However, in previous rounds, “Murcia” – 3: 0 and 5: 0, and “Celta” – 1: 1 and 5: 0 were passed.
