The emotions of the Cup have no equal, especially with this format, which does not lead to revenge. A football like this can be seen as uneconomic by many, since it is not uncommon for some of the best players to get out of the competition, but it contains so much truth that it pays off for a long time. Yesterday we had two samples of this in two games resolved in extra time, and in what way. Levante passed in the last gasp of it, with a goal from the blessed Roger. The Barça, that lost in the 88 ‘by 2-0, managed to reach it culminating with two goals a supreme effort, When he launched himself up unchained, placed at 3-3-4, with castaway despair.
The Levante it had never reached this point. It claims its ‘Championship of Free Spain’, which is not approved because only teams from the Mediterranean region participated in it. So this semifinal is your historic roof, won in good law to a regional rival of great category and in an unforgettable trance. A superior party that served as a gateway to what would come later: that melee between Granada and Barça, resolved in favor of him in a tremendous extension, which he reached when he was already drowned. Barça fought for the Cup as they fight for life itself. Soccer stars with the illusion of beginners in search of glory.
A really beautiful game that will have compensated Koeman for so many annoyances that this one is giving him Barça with his own things and those of others. He is seen calm in the eye of that hurricane, the setbacks that appear to him in any of its forms: anger from Messi, resignation of the president, delay of elections, comic defensive failures, inopportune extensions, missed penalties, impossibility of signing, Messi’s contract, posts … Many posts. Yesterday I lost count. But He has the team at his hand, that is evident by the conviction with which they went up again and again, wasting excellence and effort to secure the semifinal with a legendary 3-5.
