Cup of the King

[Mabudi]

Hi all...
The first comeback completed (1-2)

FC Barcelona completed an impressive comeback as they overturned a first leg deficit to beat Real Zaragoza and qualify for the semi finals of the Copa Del Rey, thanks to goals from Xavi and Andrés Iniesta.

In what was the first cup game in the space of seven days where Barça need to turn the result around, Frank Rijkaard's team were successful and must now hope that they can repeat the trick next week against Liverpool in the Champions League. The scoreline in La Romareda failed to show the dominance of the visiting side, but strikes from Xavi and Iniesta were the fruits of an excellent first half display. The result will have buoyed the team and will see them go into the league encounter at Sevilla on Saturday full of confidence. The trip to Anfield is then followed by the visit to Camp Nou of Real Madrid in the league.


Kind Regards
