Catalan cup vs espanyol.

Half time now, losing 0-1 to espanyol because an Adriano mistake. Incredibly dull first 30 minutes, we then started creating chances.

We are deserving to tie this, chances from Roberto, Rafinha, Alexis, Deulofeu...

Now Rafinha hit the post after a Deulofeu cross and patri missed a one on one.

We are picking momentum. Good minutes now from many B players.

We are playing great now, with a lot of intensity. Alexis just missed a one on one from a Cesc cross. Most first team players right now.

Villa with a very bad double miss after Alba is showing Alves how to cross.

Song playing well,he is in better form than busquetscurrently. He was again bad in the first half. Hope busquets can fully recover this summer.

Finally! Cesc ties after a great through ball from Song!
1-1 goes to penalties.

Song and Stuani sent off for fighting. Great intensity in this game. Although they deserved a yellow no more.

Penalties.

Kiko Casilla saves xavi's penalty! This guy is much better than Reina.

4-2 we win at penalties, great match except the first 30 minutes. Our youngsters played very well and we created tens of chances saved by casilla.

It's difficult to understand how we were so intense and motivated for this game and so unmotivated vs Bayern especially in the second leg.

I ddint expect it to be this intense especially 2nd half.

Song Laughing

He did provide a good assist tho.

I like Rafinha very much Thumbs up

I di not watch the game, but I think Song was not a bad signing. I mean i really like him at DM, with more minutes he can be great push for Bussi and probably should rotate constantly.

by The Sanchez Thu May 30, 2013 1:20 am

He is a good backup but if we really wanted to cover that area we didn't need to spend 25 million or more to cover it. Romeu was 5 million as well as JDS and other prospects in La Masia who could easily cover the position. Don't understand why either players got red...

Putting Espanyol back in their place Proud

Thug team.

I have this theory... It's probably not true, but it would explain the motivation atm. I think Tito could be announcing he'll depart after the final game. Dunno.. And hope not, but it's been on my mind. He want to end on a high and the players wanted to win this for him.

Likely all bs! But still...

I think the team just doesn't like losing finals-especially vs our local rivals.

I mean what do we look like, Real Madrid?! Smile

The reason why team looked so lively, is nothing but it was fresher youth team, and first team is also starting to freshen up when there has been just one game a week some time now. Hopefully Tito will rotate players more next season.

Our starters barely played 2 games a week since quarter finals of the CL. That can't be the reason.

Huh?

Almost all our starters rotated before every game in the CL since quarterfinals.

Guess I remember it differently then.

Go check it, we rotated heavily before PSG and Bayern games.
Maybe the physical planning didn't work properly and we peaked to late. But the motivation seems very different.

Said to myself I was going to watch this but completely forgot it was on. Wanted to see the kids in this type of game.
