Match Preview

Real Madrid is a very tough team and always plays with high spirits. They have qualified for the Spanish King’s Cup semifinals after defeating their city rivals, Atletico Madrid. In the league, Real Madrid are currently in second place with 52 points. They are the only team that scored more than two goals per match this season, showing the power of their attacks. Real Madrid also has a very strong home record, becoming one of two unbeaten teams at home this season.

Meanwhile, Barcelona has an extraordinary success history of the Spanish King’s Cup. They are the team with the most titles in this tournament. In the league, Barcelona is currently in the top position with 59 points, ahead of Real Madrid.

Robert Lewandowski and his colleagues have a very strong attacking ability, and they have scored 10 goals in the last three matches in the Spanish King’s Cup.

However, Barcelona has been in difficult times lately. They suffered defeats in the last two matches, including the 0-1 defeat of the Almeria promotion team, and lost the opportunity to advance in the Europa League after losing 2-1 to Manchester United at Anfield.

Even so, Barca still has a solid defense and is able to record two clean sheets in the last two matches at the Spanish King’s Cup.

Given the better history of Real Madrid in the match against Barcelona, as well as the fact that Los Bloncos has one more day for preparation and will play at home, many predict victory for the home team in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal. However, as usual, in football, everything can happen.

Ahead of El Clasico, Real Madrid injury problems continued to grow, with Rodrygo and David Alaba suffered injuries during their Champions League victory over Liverpool, Ferland Mendy (thigh injury) since January and is currently undergoing treatment for various diseases. Rodrygo has returned to training, but it is still doubtful to appear in the upcoming matches.

Carlo Ancelotti also had to think of other ways to play without Luka Modric’s services, who will serve a sentence due to a red card in the match against Real Betis. However, the midfield can be refreshed with the return of Aurelien Tchouameni, which has now been fully recovered from the flu.

On the other hand, Barcelona will play without Robert Lewandowski. The former Bayern Munich striker suffered a hamstring injury during their defeat to Almeria last weekend. While Ousmane Dembele and Pedri were also absent due to thigh injuries.

However, Ansu Fati can return to the team after absent most of the season with a knee injury. Xavi Hernandez can take advantage of Fati’s services to play replacing Lewandowski in midfield, Ferran Torres is expected to start as number nine, with Raphinha back to the wing after his strange injury after the match against Manchester United.

Both teams will try to achieve an important victory in the classical battle of two Spanish giants, but with an injury that haunts both parties, which team will not be ascertained as the winner. What is clear is that the El Clasico match which can be watched live streaming will be an interesting spectacle.
