If Barça learned anything in Alicante, with Intercity, it was that they had to take yourself very seriously a First RFEF team. The recent experience lived in Alicante, where it does not go clear the tie until extra time and they equalized the score three times, it was very useful for Ceuta to correct themselves and settle the duel with the sufficiency that should have been expected (0-5).
Not a sign of laziness or arrogance was granted to the Blaugrana eleven, and this allowed him advance to the quarter-finals (eliminatory single game, of which today he will meet his rival in the draw), with less anxiety, although forced to work equally. He didn’t take his foot off the accelerator until he got into the shower and that made it possible give yourself a beating. It also made it easier for Xavi to promote the debut of the youth Angel Alarcon ten minutes from the end.
Xavi made ten changes to the line-up that beat Madrid. He just repeated Lewandowski, who cannot be used on Sunday in the League due to sanction. He accompanied him Ferranalso suspended, i Raphinha, the most rested of the forwards. The attack, and the rest of the team, was of sufficient category, spare, to beat Ceuta.
Seriousness and rigor
Two of the star signings meant to alleviate the lack of goals played their part. Raphinha opened the can five minutes before the break and Lewandowski cleared it five minutes later. Two short and devastating whips a couple of times in which they were able to be in the vertical of the goal.
The nine were lucky, leaving with two goals. Too much forward for Ceuta’s defenders. Quite the opposite of the third member of the front line. Ferran Torres was completely taken aback, who can’t do anything, his bad streak was even more highlighted as soon as he was replaced: Ansu Fati also plugged the first shot. Even Kessie got wet Barça will play in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, along with the Madrid, the Royal Society, the Sevillathe Valencia, theAthletic Club, theAtlético de Madrid i l’health.
