I do agree with it. It's a very embarassing result for girona to lose against mallorca. It was a shame to see that how girona was conceding three goals in the first half. It was also making the situation become even worse. Girona failed to equalize the score and only managed to score two goals, which was not enough to extend the match into additional time. Barcelona and girona have been fucked by middle tier team like bilbao and mallorca. nothing surprise caused by these clubs is only performing good in the la liga.

Im only wondering what's the different between playing in the la liga compared to a competition like copa del rey. Barcelona has been showing another degrade since it was also losing against bilbao. I was aware when so many people were screaming after lamine yamal was scoring but the situation becomes different when bilbao was able scoring additional goals against barcelona. Xavi has been also releasing the new statement regarding the lost faced by barcelona.

Xavi have to leave from the club. He was a disaster for barcelona and laporta can recruit a new coach again. it will be making the situation far better rather than when xavi will be staying much longer in barcelona.

Two big Laliga teams this season were eliminated in the Copa del Rey in last night's match where Girona, who appeared quite impressive in Laliga but had to give up when they faced Mallorca in the quarter-finals. In another match, Barcelona also had to give up when they faced Bilbao, where in this match, Bilbao managed to use the extra minutes to score 2 goals.

The defeats experienced by Barcelona and Girona were certainly unexpected because they were more favorites but they were the ones who lost. Mallorca and Bilbao and Real Sociedad have already qualified for the semifinals and today match will determine one more team between the Atletico Madrid vs Sevilla match.

Marc-André ter Stegen's injury is the reason why Barcelona's defense is not as solid as last season. Then, several Barcelona defenders also suffered injuries, including Alejandro Balde, who had to be replaced by Héctor Fort in that match. Of course it was surprising, but Barcelona should have emerged victorious had Lamine Yamal not wasted two big opportunities towards the end of the match in normal times.

Basically, it was not only Barcelona who failed to advance to the next round of the Copa Del Rey. Real Madrid and Girona had previously failed against Atletico Madrid and Mallorca, then Barcelona was another top team that failed to qualify for the semi-finals. So far Real Sociedad, Athletic Bilbao and Mallorca have qualified, while waiting for one of the other teams, Sevilla and Atletico Madrid, who will play today.

It looks like the Copa Del Rey is a competition I shouldn't enter to bet on. Two matches that I thought would go according to my predictions turned out to have surprising results. Girona actually played well but I have to admit that Mallorca attacked effectively. Even though Mallorca basically won because they got 2 goals from penalties, Girona was still a little overwhelmed when they faced Mallorca's counterattack. The variations in strategy that Girona coach Michel Sanchez keeps changing, sometimes make it difficult for opponents to guess what strategy Girona will use. But other impacts could backfire on Girona itself.

But Girona still amazed me in that match. It's just that I was really disappointed with Barcelona who lost to Bilbao. Barcelona were even less able to build attacks well and instead were often careless and allowed their opponents to make more intense attacks. Well, this indicates that Barcelona this season is not the same as last season. Xavi must immediately overcome the problems in his squad before the UCL starts.

Barcelona doesn't have a chance on the league champion this season because they have the worst performance and secondly the only club that will possibly make Girona not to become the champion of this league is real Madrid because they have very strong and capable players that's more experience than Girona.

Atletico Madrid has tight schedule this week because today they have to fight against Sevilla at Copa Del Rey quarterfinal match and after this match on weekend Atletico Madrid as a host will gets hard opponent Valencia and i assume for the match against Sevilla i think Atletico Madrid will playing with some of their reserved players because the match against Valencia at Laliga is more important for them so Simeone have to ensure all of Atletico Madrid key players in the good fitness this weekend especially Valencia is quite strong this season and it's not easy to beat them

Valencia cannot be underestimate because their performance is much better compared to last season and even at league standings Valencia has 3 difference points below to Sociedad the team from European zone and last week Valencia was successfully to beat strong team Bilbao with narrow score so Atletico Madrid will gets strong opponent this time and indeed during playing at home Atletico Madrid has good records from Valencia but do not forget on September last year Valencia have already to humiliate Atletico Madrid with big scores 3-0 so this is interesting to see whether Atletico Madrid can able to beat Valencia or not but the odds has showing Atletico Madrid is the favourite to win the match with @1.50

People blamed xavi to put lewandowski in while yamal missed two golden opportunities owned by the club. It was fucking crazy to see how aggressive barcelona fans are. It was an absolutely unacceptable defeat for everyone involved, and I can't help but feel the weight of it.
Xavi has been targeted by all of barcelona fans caused by they believe he has become the main causes of barcelona's lost against bilbao. While I truly appreciate all the efforts made by Xavi, it is highly probable that his era in Barcelona will soon come to an end.
Barcelona was good last season caused by there were numerous clubs still rebuilding their clubs. This season is a kind of different caused by the club like girona and real madrid have been building their best squad.
Laporta needs to sell some players to raise the funds to be used in funding the club to buy the new players to strengthen the club. Barcelona needs to make more preparation for the UCL match next month.

Yes, I agree that this is the most reasonable reason why Barcelona and Girona lost the Copa Del Rey. The reason is, it is no longer strange that the Champions League (UEFA) has always been the main goal for clubs in European countries to be able to play there, including clubs in Spain (La Liga). The reason is, the Champions League can be said to be the highest and most prestigious caste competition for clubs in European countries, such as Barcelona or Girona. So it makes sense that the defeats experienced by Girona and Barcelona were caused by the performance of their players which the coach deliberately did not maximize, so that they could compete optimally when playing in La Liga and could finish at least in the top 4 in the standings. Because the football players owned by Barcelona and Girona are also ordinary people, it is only natural that they have to focus on one goal, so that that goal can be achieved successfully. So if Barcelona and Girona's goal is the Champions League, then it would be wise for the two clubs to sacrifice local competitions to be able to compete for tickets to play in the Champions League.

Because it is true, tickets to play in the Champions League are very limited in every top European league. Because as far as I know there are 4 tickets up for grabs in every European country with the highest league caste. However, the latest news that I know is that this year the number of participating clubs that can take part in the Champions League (UEFA) from each of the highest leagues in Europe has increased to 5 clubs.

And this is good news, because of course this will be an opportunity for Europe's highest caste clubs who want to take part in the UCL a little more. So La Liga can also send 5 club representatives to the upcoming Champions League.

29 shots!!! man you cant let your opponent to shot so many times, i see the highlights of the game and man.... that was a super game to see if anyone was neutral, both team has super chances very frecuently, and be honest if Lamine Yamal scores the goal at the 85 minute when the game still 2-2 nobody is gonna be talking about how bad Barca defends.

Last night's loss proved that Barcelona have truly lost their playability. I saw last night's match where Barcelona's players did not play well at all and if Barcelona could have played well in last night's match, they could have won the match. If Barcelona could have played well in last night's match, new horizons would have been waiting for Barcelona. It's a big upset for Barcelona fans that last season's champions Barcelona have collapsed so much in La Liga. I think nothing more can be expected from Barcelona.

It was a nightmare for Barcelona yesterday. I was shocked to learn that Bilbao was the team that defeated them in the Copa del Rey. Prior to the game, I had warned that since Barcelona was playing at Bilbao Field, if they did not take care of themselves, Bilbao would win. This was because I knew that Barcelona was not the same team as in the past; the players could not play the way they did. Despite their best efforts, Barcelona was unable to win the game in the extra time that was granted.

If Barcelona were to play against a team like Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid, I wouldn't be surprised because I know that both teams are capable of defeating Barcelona. However, if Barcelona loses, this will show them that they need to keep up their strong play, and as of right now, I don't think they have a chance to win any league this season. I've heard that the coach of Barcelona is saying that the team is capable of winning the Liga, and he will leave if they don't win any trophies. Given that Barcelona has shown no signs of winning any league, I think this is something he should be better prepared to say.

It's just a matter of time, especially the financial problems faced by Barcelona from Messi's departure to another club, causing several sponsors to terminate their contracts and in addition, several of their important players continue to leave, of course this is the worst era for Barcelona during their domination of La Liga several seasons ago with Real Madrid, of course It's not easy for Barcelona to stabilize their finances during this crisis, of course there are a lot of sacrifices that have to be made, such as their important players, like it or not, that has to happen and the problem doesn't stop there. Barcelona only relies on money to buy players, the amount is only small and not enough. buy classy players, at least they can rely on free players in the next few markets to complete the formation that will be used by Xavi.

The financial problem became a snowball for barcelona. The club gets domino effect and the upcoming season will be much more difficult for barcelona. I have seen the latest news said some players will leave from barcelona as free agent like pedri.
Barcelona will be losing cancelo and felix as well. Xavi is not in a good position after his club was losing against bilbao. There are lots of la liga club made very huge improvements compared to the last season like bilbao which was even stronger than barcelona.

Xavi has been also saying if he could leave from the club if barcelona and fans are demanding him to leave due to the bad result achieved by the club. I do support the decision to replace him with a better coach. Xavi is still keep using the old philosophy of football.
The lost against bilbao was a disgraceful result for barcelona. To be honest if xavi was not the whole problem but it's very boring to see him implement the same strategy many times.

If barcelona keeps get the same result like the match against bilbao and it's good enough for the club. Barcelona needs to target UCL spot as the main target for the club. it will be helping club a lot to get money to pay the debt and its expenses.
Laporta needs to do something to save barcelona. The club is not financially good to buy the new player too. It's dilemma for barcelona caused by the performance from club is always declining.

Last night was definitely a nightmare for Barcelona because they had to be eliminated in the last 16 of the Copa Del Rey after losing to Bilbao in extra time. This match was very fierce and Bilbao was not afraid in the slightest even though the opponent was Barcelona. In fact, a quick goal in the 1st minute managed to put Bilbao through Barcelona's goal and they were ahead for quite a long time. The attacks from both teams never stopped until Barcelona finally managed to reverse it with two goals before halftime. In the second half, Bilbao immediately launched their attack again and finally produced results by scoring the equalizer. Until the final minute the score did not change and the tie remained so it continued into extra time to determine the winner. In the end, Barcelona conceded 2 more goals which made the score end at 4-2 in favor of Bilbao.

---

According to OptaJose, Barcelona conceded 29 shots in this match, making it the most since the last time in the 2013/2014 season and of course this is no achievement. This is a bad record for the Blaugrana and far from expectations if they are one of the clubs that have conceded the most goals this season.

Yes, it was unexpected that Michel's team had to lose to the team ranked 15th in Laliga, Girona's matches always produce surprising results, such as against Almeria. Girona had to be satisfied with a draw and only got 1 point, but now Girona in the Copa del Rey he has also given surprising match results in the Copa del Rey and Girona was forced to fail to enter the semi-finals.

and now it was unexpected that Xavi's team could be successfully defeated by Bilbao with a score of 4-2 in the Copa del Rey and Barcelona also failed to enter the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey and it was a great shame that a strong team in Laliga was defeated by the team that is ranked Lower in Laliga. But Barcelona, ​​which was defeated by Bilbao in the Copa del Rey, I think is something that can be called normal because the rankings of Bilbao and Barcelona in Laliga do not have a big difference in rankings.

Yes, we will wait for the match and results of Atletico Madrid's match against Sevilla in the Copa del Rey. The ranking of Atletico Madrid and Sevilla certainly has a big difference in Laliga. I think this will be an interesting match and I think Sevilla will definitely try their best to win this match because in Laliga I think it will be difficult for Sevilla to become champions but in the Copa del Rey Sevilla has the potential to become champions in theCopa del Rey.

yeah, they are a great team, so why not aim to win the Copa del Rey! They were not serious about it, and this is not a new excuse btw.
Girona has been eliminated from the Copa del Rey by 10-man Mallorca. Despite being one man down at the 67th minute, girona failed to capitalize on the chances as they missed couple of opportunities. Mallorca was 3-0 up in the first half, and breaking down their defense proved challenging. Anyway, Girona will now shift their focus solely to the league. Today's loss might not matter much if they can secure the La Liga title at the end of the season. However, winning La Liga remains a dream for Girona, with Real Madrid being the favorites.

Girona has been impressive this season, as I've followed them. However, Girona's chances of winning La Liga are slim given Real Madrid and Barcelona's strength and history. They shouldnt be written off yet. They've shown play that might land them a top ranking or the title.

Recent loss may feel like a blow, but I consider it as a short setback. They've shown perseverance, and their present standing makes them a strong Champions League contender. Maintaining such attitude and consistency in their remaining games is key. Girona fans should be optimistic - their team has done them proud and could go further.

Unfortunately Barcelona is no longer the best club we use to know because there performance is getting worster every season and this season has been one of there worst season so far considering there poor performance, and with the way things are currently moving for them I doubt if they can be able to improve there performance on there next season

Nothing is impossible when Girona suffers defeat, it is already a good result, regardless of whether Girona is impressive this season or not, but if you call it embarrassing it feels like an exaggeration. After all we have often seen strong clubs defeated by mediocre teams. there is a positive side if Girona loses because they can  finally focus on La Liga to compete with Madrid again. If this season we are able to secure just 1 trophy it will be a great achievement. I also expected Girona to win 3 points over Mallorca but in reality Mallorca deserved to come out as winners  and move on to the semi finals.

It sounds non sense to say girona was not willing to compete in copa del rey. Any teams will be so happy in winning the competition and trophy. It's caused by the trophy can be used as a proof if team has been slowly developing even better. Why did girona participate in copa del rey if it was not willing to get the trophy? girona is just facing another disaster caused by mallorca was leading the game with 3 goals. The bad thing girona was not able to equalizing the goals scored by mallorca in the first half. It's a set back for girona in this case.

The club can't even perform better compared when it was playing in la liga. It's such a disgrace for the club caused by it was missing a lot of opportunities. I meant that girona has been wasting opportunity to perform better than before.
