Its normal. For me its the same. Every season i have to face teams 3 level higher than me. Thats the way it goes if you have a strong team.
But with the right tactics you can win this cup for sure. I won it 2 times. And since last season i can call me treble-winner. For me the cup its the only hard competiton. And this season i will do what i can do to repeat this. Thats gonna be tough. But everybody has the chance to do this. It will be great 2 times in a row.
