Pilgrim's Progress
The beginning...

I know that YOUR Plymouth Argyle isn't the same as the real life Plymouth Argyle. But still it's kind of fun to see Spurs entering a final, hoping to FINALLY break their curse, only to leave with a 5-0 defeat. Ouch. Oh, and sorry to any Spurs fans out there. I'm supporting Man United and need to take any win I can get these days.
Farías 32 goals in 21 games, he's like a cheat code mate, haha.
Argyle Ease into the Quarter-Final
The Pilgrims completed their Champions League Round of 16 5-3 aggregate victory over Juventus with a 3-2 win at Home Park. Battaglia opened the scoring, only for Milik to equalise soon after half-time. Goals from Miretti and Cherki made things a bit more relaxing and, despite a further Juventus goal near the end, progress was effectively tied up with 20 minutes to go.
On other cup matters, a thrilling, full-bloodied FA Cup 5th round 6-3 win against Leeds was as chaotic as the scoreline suggests. Leeds are very combative and high-energy; a throwback to the Bielsa years, and this was far from a comfortable match.
In the league, Argyle’s championship push continued with a routine win over Fulham and a comeback draw against the Gunners. Argyle were 2-0 down at half-time but a formation change for the second half saw Plymouth more competitive and they secured the draw courtesy of Facundo Farias and Ozziel Herrera.
