The purely “Spanish” weeks in the domestic and international arenas, as well as the Real Madrid, had another team from the capital of this country – Madrid Athletico, who initially gave way to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League “Blancos”, and then returned to the Metropolitan.

Which also had Champions League in the middle of the week, but with a more successful completion of a duel against Lisbon Benphyry (3: 1). However, the teams of Diego Simeone and Hans-ditter Flika united a duel in the Spanish Cup, where the first match ended simply by crazy 4: 4 on the Mozhuik. And in the last one believed in the home for the “mattresses” of the match is to repeat a similar result.

In the course of the first half, this impression was exclusively enhanced. The moments of Simeone and yama was exchanged on the opposite sides of the field – they took a long break before the next episode with the blow of Lewandowski’s head. Then again the struggle and only the struggle, and here he is an explosion at the end of the first half. Initially, the Polish forward of Barcelona is marked by a trap on the left flank of other people’s possessions, and in an attack in response through the hands of a delusion, Mangada’s head, Grizmann’s legs and Simeone ball finds herself from the Athletico Personal in the center of the penalty barcelona through the left flank. It was impossible to make it possible.

Thus, the team of Diego Simeone came forward and in general felt quite confidently for the game. At the beginning of the second half – the same. Barcelona could not create anything for a long time, and then, in 70 minutes, she missed for the second time, when a similar rapid attack ended with a Gallager strand on an empty gate for Serlot all from the same left edge. But there was a nuance – a game from where Paul was still on his own half, which was not noticed on Var for some reason.

The Catalans were raging because of it, but not long. Because in the next attack, Igaho Martinez filed from the left flank to Levandowski in the center of the penalty area, and he struck from his breast into the far corner and reduced the lag. As it turns out later, it was such a quick answer that became decisive in this match.

Because then began a fairy tale of the attacking genre from the guest team, which was finally played in 78 minutes, when Rafinia filed on Ferrand, and at the beginning of the compensated time, the long -range hit the railway from the right flank, who sent the ball to the opposite angle. And for this amazing Cambec to seem unrealistic at all, Barca still scored Ferran’s efforts, which Rafini helped very much that she never switched off the fight.

In the next round, Madrid Athletico will play Catalan Espanyol, whereas Barcelona expects Catalan derby against Girona.
