If both teams are of the same quality and one team used superior tactics, it is expected that this team would win most of the matches. A draw or two may occur and rarely maybe one loss. But, in this game it is not like this. There are more 'anomalies' than expected - more than what is expected in real life. Many outcomes are not realistic. So, maybe they failed in what they tried to do in terms of making the outcomes more realistic (if ever that were their intention).
    why i asked this question ? i had a team in my league that i won against 3-1 and lost against 5-2 in the cup so i'm trying to find a logic

    Like I have said, it is probably due to the excessive amount of randomness involved in deciding the outcomes of matches.

    But, there may be something else involved too. I have noticed that for the Cup, many times a team is given favor in one leg and the other team is given favor for the other leg (irrespective whether the team is playing away or home). So, if this is observed way too much, there is surely something else involved other than randomness unless if the favor given is a 50-50 decision.

    I was in the same situation a couple of seasons ago, the same team which was in my Legue (I won the Legue and him personnaly in League games) also played against me in CL, but it was my mistake since I underestimate him after Legue games.

    Underestimated or not, you would still have lost if the game already gave a lot of hidden advantages to the other team for that particular match. In some cases, nothing much can be done as a manager to change the final outcome, that is win or loss. If you have the quality advantage (but not to the extremes) and if you use superior tactics, you might earn a draw, but you will still lose on penalties. You will even notice how the game set things up and make things happen so that the 'already decided' outcome in terms of win or loss is respected. If you keep on observing for a few seasons, you might even see similarities and trends concerning such things (which means that these have been programmed to occur as such; there are no coincidences). So far, the only way to override this is to have quality advantages as high as +80% and above compared to the quality of the opposing team, where the significant advantages given by the game to this opposing team won't be enough to make you lose. In other words, this is the only guarantee to win, but it is expensive and hence not worth it, especially for a game like this.
