Daniel Farke has FA Cup 'dream' with Leeds

Daniel Farke has FA Cup 'dream' with Leeds

Daniel Farke says Leeds are "highly motivated" to continue their FA Cup run.

The Whites beat Norwich 3-0 on Sunday (08.03.26) to reach the quarter-finals of the competition for the first time since 2003 and the coach is hoping that his side can defy the odds and progress further.

Farke said: "To be there in the quarter-finals is a big deal.

"It's a while ago, I think over two decades ago, that we were there the last time.

"It's still not realistic for us to win this cup.

"But who knows? We want to enjoy this cup run a bit longer.

"The dream is still ongoing and we're looking forward to the draw - hopefully another home game.

"We haven't had too many home games in the FA Cup in the last couple of decades and for that, we take it as motivation to be able, perhaps, to write another piece of amazing history for this club."

Farke has stressed that Premier League survival remains the priority for his team as they await their quarter-final opponents.

The German coach said: "I have just one wish. It would be great to have a home game.

"But it's a blessed position to be in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

"You still have more or less the big names through, with Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea.

"So again, we are still not the favourites to win the cup.

"But we also know when we have a good day, we can win, especially one game, against each and every one.

"It's a good feeling at the moment.

"It's a good feeling to be back on the big stage, in this competition.

"We are definitely highly motivated to live this dream as long as possible."
