La Real is playing a very important game tomorrow against Eibar in Anoeta (2:00 pm) and they focus their five senses on that, but logically everyone is also aware of what may happen in the draw for the round of 32 on Monday (13 hours) in the Swiss town of Nyon. It is a hype with a lot of morbid because the txuri urdin are going to have an enemy on the one hand appetizing and on the other, powerful. There are 14 possible rivals, but it points to a high-voltage duel, the kind that remain in history. The tie is played on February 18 and 25, 2021 and the Guipuzcoans, as they are not seeded, must celebrate the first leg in their fiefdom of Anoeta, perhaps with a certain influx of public allowed in the stands.
Realistic players don’t get too wet when it comes to preferences. Nobody is aware that for the most novice footballers, some of whom were in Second B only a few months ago, it would represent an almost unthinkable and wonderful experience to be able to play in great venues such as Old Trafford, the Emirates Stadium, the Johan Cruyff Arena , the Olympic of Rome or the Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium, all of between 55,000 and 80,000 spectators. However, there are enemies that are more convenient to meet in more advanced playoffs.
The most feared is Tottenham from Mourinho. He is the leader of the Premier, has planetary stars such as Kane, Bale O His
There and aim very high this season. The other soccer orcs are United, Arsenal, Milan, Bayer Leverkusen and perhaps to a lesser extent Ajax, Leicester or Hoffenheim.
However, considering the one coming with Naples, Real is in a position to compete against any enemy and may be superior to many of those mentioned. Among the most accessible are Glasgow Rangers and Dynamo Zagreb.
