Qualified for the 1/8th finals with the score of 4-3 after extra time on Wednesday evening, the leader of La Liga suffered martyrdom against CF


FC Barcelona, ​​dominating but too messy, suffered a thousand deaths against CF Intercity, a 3rd division club which pushed it into extra time, but ended up qualifying for the knockout stages of the King's Cup, Wednesday in Alicante at the end of a crazy scenario (3-3, 4-3 ap).

With its French internationals Ousmane Dembélé and Jules Koundé, Barça had to force their talent to dismiss the D3 club which had the nerve to come back to score three times.

Defender Ronald Araujo opened the scoring for the Catalans by heading a corner in force (1-0, 4th).

The La Liga leader then seemed to be content with this result with a game devoid of rhythm.

But after a first alert on a goal ball saved on his line by the same Araujo, the Catalans were punished by Oriol Soldevila Puig on receiving a corner (59th, 1-1).

This goal had the merit of waking up Barça who finally put the necessary intensity to find the target by Dembélé who, with a nice stung ball, gave the advantage to his team (66th, 2-1).

But the resident of the Spanish D3 had not said his last word since he found resources to equalize via the same Soldevila Puig (73rd, 2-2).

The two teams then went blow for blow: Raphinha barely entered the game thought he had given a definitive advantage to Barça (77th, 3-2), but on a rapid transition, Soldevila Puig offered himself a spectacular hat-trick ( 86th) and sent both teams into overtime.

There is no discussion on that.

My uncle is a socio.

The truth is that it was a very special encounter for all of us and not just for me.

But I have to make my career and keep moving towards the top as I grow.
