On a morning reminiscent of football in the 80s, Celta emerged alive from the Urritxe trap, where they managed to qualify for the last 16 of the Copa del Rey by defeating Amorebieta in a match full of alternatives. The problems caused by the Basque team and the field where the match was played were touched upon. Five years later Celta are once again among the best sixteen of the cup tournament and tomorrow they will find out their opponent (the draw will be at 13.00) and whether they will eventually return to play a match in this tournament in Balaídos.
