AT. BALEARES 2 – CELTA 1 | Manel and Canario draw another magical night in the Balearic Islands

Atlético Baleares enlarges its legend in this Cup with another memorable night, magical for the date and for the feat. After beating Getafe in the previous round (5-0), this time they tied Celta to defeat him without much suffering. The result kept the emotion going until the end, but the truth is that the local team was immensely superior to the people from Vigo. Coudet’s outfit was a broken toy from start to finish. They repeated ridiculous 365 days later. Again on the night of Kings, again in the Balearic Islands, accursed land. Last year Ibiza humiliated them, now Atlético destroyed them.

Two extraordinary heads from Manel, both to the center of a splendid Canary, were enough to knock down an inert Celta. The Celts equaled the crash midway through the second half, it is true, but that was an accident that immediately corrected Manel Martínez’s head. Now that the next one happens.

Xavi Ginard served as a local goalkeeper and spectator at the same time. He did not have to intervene because Celta did not threaten. The goal was generated in a run over in which little could be done. Before and after, he almost freezes from being still for so long. He lacked the pipes, an armchair and a blanket so that the plan was perfect. Because there was no rival in front, there was a gang of ESO kids in full recess. A group of spiritless youths, moth-eaten on the grass waiting for the paperwork to pass to go home to open the gifts of Kings. A regrettable repeat offender.

Atlético Baleares was the opposite, uA team hungry to repeat a feat, eager to eat the rival to continue writing the history of this Cup. They destroyed another First with an astonishing naturalness, with a clarity of ideas typical of another category. Surely the opponents will no longer see it as appealing in the next draw. Whoever gets it, will know that they will have to suffer at the Estadi Balear. There they do not want to wake up from this precious dream.
