Barcelona taking the Copa del Rey too serious. Another day, another Valencia huge loss thanks to Barcelona  
it's 70 minutes and Barcelona is leading by 5 goals to Nil. The last time the two team met in La Liga, Barcelona hit 7 past them… How embarrassing.

I think they should have tried out some damage control, but from the look of things we might see another 7–8 goals tonight.

Well Barcelona has always been taking the Copa Del Rey more serious right from time than they take any other competition they participate in, that's why they have more Copa Del Rey trophies 30+ in their trophy cabinet. Barcelona seems to be the hottest team in Spain right now, because with the way they dispatch their opponent so easily and with lots of goals is really alarming seriously. I believe their fans must be head high anywhere they are in right now cause of their tremendous form.

[Pokapoka124]

Arda Guler not getting that much playing time is definitely something that fans are angry about, but I also would like to point out that there are way too many players on his spot, so it makes sense that he doesn't get to play that much, the weird part is them buying him, because they knew that they had good players on that place, so why did they get him to begin with?

It's baffling to see such an incredibly talented player struggling for match minutes at Real Madrid. While it's understandable that Real Madrid is a world class team stacked up with top tier players in nearly every position, it still raises questions when a player of his caliber is constantly overlooked by Carlo Ancelotti. Maybe because Ancelotti is known for trusting experienced players which can sometimes make it difficult for young or less established players to break into the squad.

I don't mean to be harsh or sound insulting, but the Valencia coach sets up his team like someone who is retarded. It's just like he didn't do his assignment at all. Does he mean he learned nothing from the first leg?
In the league, he played a very high line against Barcelona and was setting an upside trap. Doing that against Barcelona means he has not been paying attention. Matches like that are what Barcelona feeds on. They want opponents to leave those spaces behind; they want their opponents to attack them so they have space to counter and Valencia is playing right into their hands. They did it in the league and they're doing it again in the Copa. I couldn't believe my eyes, it was laughable.
What they could have done was defend very well and hit Barcelona on the counter. This is the only kryptonite to Flicks Barcelona currently.

On the contrary, I think it is Barcelona taking Valencia personal because this is the second time they are meeting recently and the beating have always been without mercy. When they met in a La Liga match, they decimated them just like they did to them tonight in their Copa del Rey meeting. So it is Valanecia they don't want to use their eyes and see and it has nothing to do with the tournament they are playing. I think. First half ended 0:4 which shows how angry Barcelona was with Valencia.

[Richbased]

A night for Ferran Torres who scored a hattrick for Barcelona in their 5:0 win over Valencia in the Copa Del Ray. I still wonder how Barcelona always finds it easy to win matches in other competitions but finds it difficult to win easily when it comes to the La Liga. I expected Valencia to score at least one goal but unfortunately, Barcelona got the clean sheet just as Atletico Madrid also got a 5:0 win against Getafe yesterday. Barcelona's attack is very good and the speed they followed Valencia was just uneasy for their Valencia's defense to handle and Barcelona get to score them easily and quickly. But am just wondering why Barcelona doesn't apply same tactics and experience in their La Liga games because seeing how they struggled to win Desportivo Alaves in their last La Liga game and to see that they could beat Valencia without stress it's really surprising.

[SatoPrincess]

Honestly, I expected the match to not be an easy one, and seriously, the match was not really easy for Real Madrid despite their win. Leganes really played to my satisfaction because they were able to score two goals. The funny part is that these goals were equalizers, which I did not expect from them when Real Madrid first netted two goals. They were able to score again, making the final score 3-2 in favor of Real Madrid.

But honestly, Real Madrid really wasted a lot of chances. If not, they could have scored more than that. Just imagine if Mbappe was in the game many of those chances might have been converted into goals. Can you believe that Real Madrid made about 12 shots on goal but only managed to convert three into goals?But congratulations to them, because the main thing is to win the game.

Real Madrid tried though their defense was shaky and on two occasions their opponents found the net to equalize after Real Madrid got a two goal lead. Luckily for Madrid, they were able to get yet another goal towards the end of the match that gave they victory over Leganes. With this defense against a more stronger Laliga side they would have lost obviously.

You got me laughing 🤣 Barcelona took their game with Valencia too personal that's why you could see them beating them without looking back, I expected the coach of Valencia to have learnt his lessons after their previous meeting and at such he could have played more of defense tonight but seeing how they couldn't stop Barcelona from scoring goals shows that he didn't prepare his players well before coming to play Barcelona. I was expecting to see Barcelona scoring up to 8 goals so that they will spell the name of the team they play against but seeing that they stopped at 0:5 I think they had compassion on the Valencia team.

I think it is because Barcelona often rotates some players in other competition. But in La Liga, there is no much rotation for the main lineup. In La Liga, Barcelona looks like want Lewandowski to score more goals. So, Ferran Torres has no chance to play regularly as an attacker in La Liga match. Especially to play as a striker, Ferran Torres has no chance at all. Honestly, Barcelona played more effective when they put Ferran Torres as the striker.

Anyway, I think Barcelona and Atletico Madrid has a big chance to play in the final round if they don't meet in the semi-final. I don't think Real Madrid will win against Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in the semi-final. There are too many injured players, most of them are main players. Real Madrid defense also looks very weak recently.

The game ended at 5--1 in favour of Barcelona and I hope they'll use this same energy when they're playing their league games as it'll be a waste that they're playing as brilliantly as they're playing in other competitions but when it gets to the league games that's more important, they'll begin to lose games. Barcelona's dominated Valencia at all angles on the game and they could have scored more goals and it's good that they didn't, so they can still be hungry to score more goals in their next match against Sevilla. Barcelona goal scoring numbers has increased and that's a good sign that the players are improving and ready to compete for that title.

[Slow death]

~Snip~

Lamine Yamal is only 17 years old and plays regularly for Barcelona, ​​he only doesn't play in case of injury and he also plays regularly for the Spanish national team. I'm a Real Madrid fan, but I don't think it's right to sign players who just sit on the bench. Look at the consequences of not making everyone play regularly Is that today Real Madrid came close to drawing, they couldn't win easily.

Ancelotti is too doubtful of the talent of young players, he rarely plays Arda Guler and Endrick in big matches, they should be given the opportunity to play to hone their mentality and feel the sensation of facing great players from the opposing team.
On the other hand, Yamal has become a regular player in the Barcelona squad, his position is very difficult to replace because of the great talent he has. Arda Guler and Endrick might be able to reach Yamal's level if they get the trust of the coach.

Unfortunately, Arda Guler and Endrick will not play as starters while Vinicius Jr. and Mbappe and Rodrygo are in good health. So it would be better if Real Madrid had agreed to loan Arda Guler and Endrick because they would be playing in other teams. There is no point in a player being a Real Madrid player while he only sits on the bench. They (Arda Guler and Endrick) will lose their skills over time because they are not playing regularly.


Valencia 0 - 4 FC Barcelona

Barcelona did not give Valencia any space, the first half and the second half were a show of skill by Barcelona players to beat the home team with a landslide score of 5-0 and take them to the semifinals. The victory also set a new record for Barcelona as the biggest victory achieved by Barcelona at Mestalla.
The results ensure that 4 teams will qualify for the semifinals, Atletico, Real Madrid, Sociedad and Barcelona, ​​the semifinal draw will take place on February 12.

I was expecting to see Barcelona scoring up to 8 goals so that they will spell the name of the team they play against but seeing that they stopped at 0:5 I think they had compassion on the Valencia team.

Even without starting their best players Barcelona still won with a good scoreline, which means that if the first team played against Valencia then the goal from Barcelona would've been double or close to double the score, that's tp tell you how poor in performance Valencia's tram was, anyways they're in the relegation spot on the Laliga table so am not suprised, I just feel they should've been able to score atleast 1 goal since they're playing against more of Barca's youth team.

 Maybe Valencia's coach got carried away with Barca's selection for the match and failed to be more defensive forgetting that LaMarcia produces raw talents and we all saw how they dealt with Valencia. Torres is class he scored a hattrick and I think he's one player to watch out for.

[Fuso.hp]

This is not about victory because in fact, seeing the match Real Madrid seemed to not have the strength to beat a weak team. There are many things that may need to be evaluated, especially for the defense line because I saw them so easily penetrated by opponents even though if you look at the attack pattern built by Leganes players, it is not that dangerous because there is no speed like some top club players. It was still quite lucky because Garcia managed to break into Leganes' goal in the added time so that Real Madrid managed to win the match.

I very much agree with you. And Real Madrid still needs a lot of improvement, especially in their back line which looks very fragile and has many gaps. In that match, Real Madrid almost couldn't win. Even though the difference in strength between Leganes and Real Madrid should be very large. But in this match we saw that Leganes' strength level could still match Real Madrid's strength. 

And unlike Real Madrid, we see that Atletico Madrid can win easily and with a very big score, namely 5-0. I hope Real Madrid can improve their weaknesses before the UCL match.

In that match, Real Madrid did not field the main squad and the back row was also filled by two defenders who did not have sufficient flying hours. However, regardless of the many goals conceded by Madrid lately, it was indeed because the crisis in the back line was very severe. Of course, the victory was an important capital and became motivation for the team to return to the path of victory.

The big news is that Real Madrid has been defeated, but no one will make headlines that Real Madrid has been defeated because Real Madrid did not enter the field with their main defender and another important player. And if there were no problems, Real Madrid would not have entered the field without taking those two players. Real Madrid are not currently in a position where losing a match or two would not be a problem. Rather, Real Madrid are currently in a position where if they drop a point or two in a match, they will fall far behind the other teams in the competition. Mbappé came to Real Madrid at the beginning of this season, so I naturally thought that Real Madrid would be an overwhelming team, but even though Mbappé came to the team, several other important players of Real Madrid were injured and left the field for a long time. Real Madrid's performance has been adversely affected by the prolonged absence of key players but they need to overcome this poor performance very quickly.

Barcelona knows their chance to win La liga is pretty small considering duo Madrids are on fire. So, they changed their focus on to the Copa Del Rey.

As for Pedri, he's MOTM in this game, and it's amazing to see his team work with frankie. He got highest rating, and obviously underrated player. It's also good to see how Frankie is so back, but it seems majority of us are not yet noticing his comeback.

A predictable result, but good to see them got massive win, which is boosting their confidence.

[junder]

Valencia failed to advance to the Copa del Rey semifinals after losing to Barcelona. Playing at home, Mestalla Stadium today they were silenced by Barcelona with a crushing defeat, Valencia was humiliated by five goals without reply. With Hansi Flick expressing his satisfaction with the victory of the team that continues to develop rapidly this season. The changes experienced by Barcelona are quite good.

However, the coach emphasized that the team must learn to manage energy better. Because, a busy schedule with two matches per week is a big challenge that must be overcome. Flick also hopes that all players remain focused and continue to show high fighting spirit.

The match was played in a very strange way, especially Barcelona players did not give Valencia any chance to score in the first half, and they attacked strongly in the second half. Yes, since Barcelona was able to win by a large margin, it is certainly an achievement for them, where they defeated the opposing team by a score of 5–0 goals. Of course, there is a possibility of a more interesting and exciting game in the semi-finals between these four teams, and if Real Madrid and Barcelona face each other in the semi-finals, it will be even more wonderful.

[SatoPrincess]

The squad that Real Madrid currently has has not found its best level, one of which is the chemistry between them has not found its best point and that happened because of the injury problems they experienced and the addition of new players. One of the most influential in my opinion is in the midfield, because they lost their balancing figure, namely Toni Kroos. I have not seen any player who can replace this player's role very well. Apart from that, their defense and front lines are also not at their best.

Yes you are right, Real Madrid are currently not at their best especially in the midfield partnership and attacking flow but these things happen and it only be a matter of time before they find their dynamic again and return to form. Hopefully at the end of the season they will try again in the transfer window to strengthen weak ends for the next season and hope they find the missing piece they need to stabilize the team.

After that no more goals were scored, and the final result of this match was still 5-0 in favor of Barcelona. I think Barcelona relaxed their attacks a little after winning with a score of 5-0. That's why Barcelona didn't score any more goals. Apart from that, Torres was able to score a hatrick in this match, I think he is really a very sharp spearhead for Barcelona at the moment. Because right now Torres has been able to score 10 goals for Barcelona in all competitions. I think we should appreciate this achievement. Apart from that, Yamal was also able to score 1 goal in this match. And with this victory, Barcelona has now qualified for the semifinals in the Coppa Del Rey and will face Real Sociedad because in last night's match Sociedad was able to beat Osasuna with a score of 2-0.

Apart from that, if for example Real Madrid is able to beat Atletico Madrid in the semifinals, it is certain that Ancelotti's team will meet Barcelona again. Because I'm sure Barcelona can definitely win over Sociedad, so you can be sure that Barcelona will definitely be able to enter the final round without any major difficulties. Maybe if Real Madrid and Barcelona meet again, I think the match will really be very fierce again. Because of course Real Madrid also wants to avenge their defeat against Barcelona in the previous two matches. And Barcelona also definitely wants to continue winning against Real Madrid. So with this, it is certain that if Barcelona and Real Madrid meet in the final, it will be a very exciting match.

Valencia 0 - 4 FC Barcelona



Ferran Torres was very inspired in this game 

This game wasn't as bad as the 7-1 game against Valencia, but the Valencia players must have felt like having a déjà vu. Last time the game was over after a few minutes, this time it took 17 minutes, or maybe 23 minutes if you will when Barcelona scored the third goal. 4-0 by halftime, I am sure that is not very funny to come out of the break and are told by your coach to try for a last time when you know how the last game ended against Barcelona.

I know that giving suggestions to a team like Valencia when they play against Barcelona is maybe worthless, but I think they started too defensively in both games. They have played a 5-4-1 against Barcelona now and yet they couldn't bring up the attention and focus on defending in a compact manner with everyone involved. With so many players playing defensively, it is a sign of missing quality that they concede 3 goals in 23 minutes.
