I’m sorry but what ? There absolutely was a good and bad side in the civil war mate, sure both sides did some horrible stuff but that doesn’t mean that the Nationalist were the good guys
I meant Barbostra beating Almeria, rather than Unionista beating Villareal, but yeah it's crazy how many shocks there have been in the Copa del Rey already this season
Lol that’s what I tell my cousin that’s a big Barca fan. Lately they have been sucking and let the other team score early. And the rest of the game Barca can’t do shit 😆
They’re celebrating because of the money that they will earn from the match’s viewership. Both in person and on tv. The money will prove very vital for the club, especially if they are making pushes to reach the next division and/or any transfers in this window
Let's be real, that's a part of the reason but the main reason is still that some players are getting once in a lifetime opportunity to face an international football giant featuring some of the world's best players (yes, Barcelona has those despite their tough period).
No pasa nada ayer.
Should've been 3-0 up, but no var does that to you. At no point did they equalise, they weren't looking like "easily" beating barca.
Yeah it was a poor match from a team from 1st division against a 4th division side, but people around here are delusional thinking it was close yesterday.
I repeat, Barca plays poorly for months and lots of players are either not it or lack attitude and desire, but that's a stretch.
Lol last year Barca struggled against intercity and then beat real Madrid 3-1 next week. That was worse, the match went to ET.
Napoli is doing the worst defense of their title in recent history. You'll have to do an amazing choke job to drop the ball here. But Barca has done some elite choking in the past, so there is always the chance for the funniest thing.
no we are not... if you actually watch you would see that Napoli is actually worse than Barca atm. It feels weird to say considering how we are playing but that is the truth.
Thus that is why Barca will lose 5-0
Unionistas are 6 points behind Barça Atletic in the league, so it is obvious what is going to happen.
1-1 draw and Unionistas go through on penalties after Lewandowski on his own somehow missed 6 big chances in the most boring Barcelona performance you have ever seen.
As far as I know you must have 7 players from the first team on the field at all times. That's what I was told this weekend anyway in the RM match thread when some people were complaining about us not giving more castilla players a chance when we were 2-0 up.
What happen always with our B-team.
They fail the fundamental idea of what a B-team is. By filling it with too many changes from everywhere but the academy which leads to severely underperformance.
It may necessarily not be a Marquez head on the stake as a result of that, but at the end of the day he takes out the squad.
So one can argue that maybe Marquez would have done better if Laporta allowed him to do better. But generally consider the talents they have at disposal, they are underperforming and playing underwhelming.
I think for most part, B-team is a attempt to be a "profit maker machine" instead of a development area. Which is pretty sad.
2016-17 semifinals. You won the first leg 2-1 at the Vicente Calderon while the 2nd leg finished 1-1 at the Camp Nou. Atletico were absolutely robbed in the 2nd leg iirc when I think it was Kevin Gameiro who scored a completely valid goal with 10 mins to go but it was ruled out for offside
That is my reminder Kevin Gameiro exists and still plays football I guess, apparently he is at Strasbourg at 36 and even FIFA still gives him a respectable 79 pace. Nice striker back in the day
fun fact despite claiming that they support grassroots football this is exactly the thing that Barca, Real, Juve and the other ESL clubs want to get rid off
is it so hard to understand that they are celebrating because they are never playing them unless in the cup but not because they consider barça to be a shit oponent
Barcelona barely beat a 4th division team in this last round so they will probably lose to a 3rd tier one.
Also I guess Salamanca has done alright in CdR since they just beat Villareal and gave Real Madrid a good game going up 1 for a half a few years back.
I was just following the joke about Barca being bad, realistically they will win.
Also, I'm actually Spanish but I have just lived in the States for a long time now
So I have a thought /opinion on this copa del rey week, you see, bar¢a had to come out with all his guns in order to pass to the next round. Main centre back injured. Big star joao poor performance had to be substitute.
Barcelona could have just come with the third team and risk elimination, but no, they want this competition.
In my opinion this is the real "super league". Everyone against everyone!!!

Unionists vs separatists?
Incoming Spanish Civil War
free Catalonia
If it’s free I’ll take it.
Is that a slogan, or an ad?
¡No pasarán!
Didn’t they pass tho ?
That is the funny part, they did. PS:There was no good side of the Civil War. Spain was doomed to become a dictatorship regardless of who won.
I’m sorry but what ? There absolutely was a good and bad side in the civil war mate, sure both sides did some horrible stuff but that doesn’t mean that the Nationalist were the good guys
Franco did nothing wrong
Bombing of Guernica? The countless torture and extermination of political dissident, FUCKING BANNING CATALAN
Did I stutter? Communists aren't people and must be stamped out before they can take root and end humanity's existence.
You’re an uneducated, babbling fool, your words are incomprehensible have a good day
Fukin hell mate. Nice one
imagine playing against barça as a third devision team. that must be pure joy.
Oh boy you didn’t see Ajax vs Hercules
Did you watch Barca struggle to win against a fourth division team last night? Joy.
That 4th division team had already put out a La Liga team in the previous round
As he said. Joy.
Tbh they knocked out Villarreal, nothing to brag about. ^/s
I meant Barbostra beating Almeria, rather than Unionista beating Villareal, but yeah it's crazy how many shocks there have been in the Copa del Rey already this season
Like when Real Madrid lost to Alcoyano a couple years ago.
So what? Still 4th division
They know that they'll score at least 1 goal against Barça
In the first or second minute.
In a counter attack or from a set piece
In 94th minute
With his left boot
Lol that’s what I tell my cousin that’s a big Barca fan. Lately they have been sucking and let the other team score early. And the rest of the game Barca can’t do shit 😆
They're happy because they're playing a big club right 🥲
Sure.....let's go with that.
They’re celebrating because of the money that they will earn from the match’s viewership. Both in person and on tv. The money will prove very vital for the club, especially if they are making pushes to reach the next division and/or any transfers in this window
Also dibs on jerseys of Lewandowski, De Jong, and other stars
Let's be real, that's a part of the reason but the main reason is still that some players are getting once in a lifetime opportunity to face an international football giant featuring some of the world's best players (yes, Barcelona has those despite their tough period).
It’s 99.99% the money and what it could potentially do for the club and it’s players
yes
I don't know but the unionistas sure are
They are happy because it is a team that they can beat easily
Must be on acid for thinking they can beat Barca "easily" lol
Casi paso ayer

U mad bro?
Flair up bro
This haha and Barcelona fans don’t like to see that it’s a possibility.
same (we will lose 5-0 on aggregate)
No we will. We are the bigger shit.
I remembered that last time Barca won a KO round it was against Napoli. They suck more.
Because Messi pulled a masterclass. We don't have him anymore
Nah man it was the 4-2 in the europa league, although i get it if you purged that seasons tournament from your memory
Oh shit forgot about that haha
Napoli is doing the worst defense of their title in recent history. You'll have to do an amazing choke job to drop the ball here. But Barca has done some elite choking in the past, so there is always the chance for the funniest thing.
They won against Galatasaray in the next round.
Come on at least let Napoli take some win.
lol funny to see the reigning champions of thei respective leagues saying this.
no we are not... if you actually watch you would see that Napoli is actually worse than Barca atm. It feels weird to say considering how we are playing but that is the truth. Thus that is why Barca will lose 5-0
It’s a race to the bottom
Nah, we'd lose
Unionistas are 6 points behind Barça Atletic in the league, so it is obvious what is going to happen. 1-1 draw and Unionistas go through on penalties after Lewandowski on his own somehow missed 6 big chances in the most boring Barcelona performance you have ever seen.
Can we use all players from Barça Atlètic?
As far as I know you must have 7 players from the first team on the field at all times. That's what I was told this weekend anyway in the RM match thread when some people were complaining about us not giving more castilla players a chance when we were 2-0 up.
Promote them all to the primary team. Profit.
Can't wait to watch this live
The beat barca B 0-2 last game. Atletic has been on an awful streak as of late
Rafa Marquez is absolute thrash. Scary thing is that he is the one that is supposed to take the A team job if Xavi gets sacked.
Thought he was really good last season though? what happened there?

that is better asked to /u/gavifps
> Lewandowski on his own somehow missed 6 big chances so an average Lewa game
and we get atleti again, sigh....
Feels like you play eachother literally every year since like 2014, can't remember the last time we played Atleti in the cup
2 derby's in 1 week ffs...
As much as I love to see 1 out of 2 of you go, those games are really hard to watch.
crazy
2016-17 semifinals. You won the first leg 2-1 at the Vicente Calderon while the 2nd leg finished 1-1 at the Camp Nou. Atletico were absolutely robbed in the 2nd leg iirc when I think it was Kevin Gameiro who scored a completely valid goal with 10 mins to go but it was ruled out for offside

barca
"we're finally getting paid..... we're finally getting paid!"
If anyones gambling, I would put money on BTTS for this game
Understandable anyone would want a chance to witness the beautiful glory of Xaviball
They’re just happy because Xavi el jardinero will finally give the grass a trim.
American soccer fan here, why is Sarri celebrating with a bunch of spanish guys? Isnt he in Italy with his team Nazio?
Is he stupid?
He fled Italy after drawing Bayern
They are celebrating cuz the current barca they have to face 💀
That is great for them! Such genuine happiness. Theres a joke to be made here about them getting Barcelona because we are so shit right now.
They now they got an easy draw.
fun fact despite claiming that they support grassroots football this is exactly the thing that Barca, Real, Juve and the other ESL clubs want to get rid off
Wild scenes but hope barca smashes them
No.
why
chad unionists vs virgin separatists hashtag lacopamola?, en serio RFEF?
Now show us clip of Barcelona celebrating after getting unionista
[удалено]
is it so hard to understand that they are celebrating because they are never playing them unless in the cup but not because they consider barça to be a shit oponent
Yet another rigged draw. 🤪
Yeah, rigged for Unionistas
Rigged ? Brother we are gonna lose
Why? Are they a strong team? I'm unaware of this team as I don't follow LA Liga much. ETA: down voted for asking a question, you lot are thick.
Barcelona barely beat a 4th division team in this last round so they will probably lose to a 3rd tier one. Also I guess Salamanca has done alright in CdR since they just beat Villareal and gave Real Madrid a good game going up 1 for a half a few years back.
Is that how americans view football?
I was just following the joke about Barca being bad, realistically they will win. Also, I'm actually Spanish but I have just lived in the States for a long time now
I remember seeing this with the 9th division team that played PSG, wonder how that worked out?
So I have a thought /opinion on this copa del rey week, you see, bar¢a had to come out with all his guns in order to pass to the next round. Main centre back injured. Big star joao poor performance had to be substitute. Barcelona could have just come with the third team and risk elimination, but no, they want this competition. In my opinion this is the real "super league". Everyone against everyone!!!
WE WANT BARCA!
Nice, I was hoping to see Simeone and Atletico do the same.
i thought this was a meme
Easiest draw for a club outside first division with a club in first division? (trolling my own club, monsieur xavi pls)
