The Café des Sports returns this Friday, February 7, 2020, to the quarter-finals of the King's Cup. - Real Madrid and FC Barcelona out!

Publicity

The first at home by Real Sociedad (3-4), and the Blaugranas outside and at the end of the match by Athletic Bilbao (1-0). Barça, Real and Atlético de Madrid absent from the last four, a first since the 2002-2003 season. - How to explain the reverse of these two favorites? - The Merengues had not lost since October 19, 2019.

- Catalans still struggling outside and who are going through a complicated period internally, with the Messi / Abidal clash. - The future of the Argentinian within the formation trained by Setién agitates the Spanish press for a few days. Can the "Pulga" really leave its club forever? - A training less in verve on the sporting level, the question of the recruitment of an attacker to replace Suarez injured.

- The national cups in question. With an overloaded calendar, are not clubs competing with a B team going into the background? - Italy: a derby in Milan. He will have a particular flavor, with the presence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who first contested it with the jersey of 13 years ago, and the last with the jersey of AC Milan, in May 2012. - A confrontation which seems more balanced since the formation of Stefano Pioli resurfaces.

- Duel at the top in Germany between Leipzig and Bayern, also between gunners (Lewandowski and Haaland). - Ligue 1: PSG / OL culminating in the 24th day. The "Gones" are at the foot of the wall. - And the sequence of boxes.

To surround Annie Gasnier, Habib Beye, Rémy Ngono and Xavier Barret. - Technical / Production : Laurent Salerno - Preparation : David Fintzel / Pierre Guérin. Broadcast live and on Facebook Live from 3.10 p.m.
