Levante – Athletic live: Copa del Rey, today, live

I RAISED

The Ciutat hosts tonight one of the most important matches in the history of Levante. A victory (or in his case a 0-0) would put the Granota club directly into a Copa del Rey final for the first time in its 112 years of existence. Paco López has been trying to contain the desire for this match for weeks, but the team will arrive hyper-excited.

The illusion overflows Orriols and the week has been very special. The emotional act of the fans, last night, after training, was the confirmation that Levantinism is very much alive despite the fact that the fans cannot enter the Ciutat. His objective in these last hours is to contain the excitement of some players who, most of them, are new to these performances. In fact, only four players know what it's like to play a final: Coke, Radoja, Duarte and Vukcevic.

AS to follow: Cárdenas. He is establishing himself as one of the revelations of the season thanks to his performances in the Cup. If he does not fit in, his team will be in the final. Today the bolt is more important than ever.
