The lightning, it turns out, did not hit twice: a year less than two weeks have passed since the Spanish King’s Cup sensation, so Alciano ousted Real Madrid at home after extra time. Tonight (Wednesday), the two groups met again – and the normal order was restored. Real qualified for the eighth final of the Spanish King’s Cup, after beating the team from the third league 1: 3, despite a bad game – mainly due to the difficult field conditions. Like its big rival, Barcelona, Real will also focus on the bottom line: it has achieved its mission, and will now try to return to the league.
Carlo Ancelotti came to this game, with Real in the mood not something. She lost her last game, after 15 games that did not happen to her, against Hattafa; Many players on the team were positive for Corona and did not train regularly; And now, she had to meet again the team that blew her away last year. But Real, like Real, did it slowly but surely, scoring from a stationary position – and in the second half also managed to return from the equalizer, thanks to the quality that rose from the bench (Marco Asensio and Isco, who do not often get chances and scored tonight).
Alcoiano (including ex-Maccabi Haifa, Leo Castiano) will return to the league struggles, where it is in the center of the table and is in crisis with four consecutive losses (including tonight). real? She hopes to keep some strength ahead of her important fight – the league – when already on Saturday a difficult meeting with Valencia awaits her.
