Barcelona take on the visitors Real Madrid in the second leg of Copa del Rey semifinals. The first leg result: 1-0. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 5th at Camp Nou (Barcelona).
Barcelona said goodbye to European cups early in the winter. Firstly, Xavi failed to secure second place in the Champions League group stage for the second time - this time losing to Inter Milan. And in February, the first stage of the Europa League, the Round of 16, became the last - where they lost to Manchester United. But at home, they managed to confidently distance themselves from their only pursuer, Real Madrid. The point in the still-smoldering intrigue in La Liga was put during Barcelona's March victory, where they showed strong will and won 2-1. As a result, instead of narrowing the gap to 6 points, the lead reached 12 - a signal of passing the title in Spanish. And the bright streak for Xavi and his team began with another successful El Clasico in the Super Cup. Now they can come close to the internal Spanish treble. Moreover, a draw at home is enough to secure a spot in the final.

Last season, Los Blancos managed to win both La Liga and the Champions League. Now, they are clearly focusing solely on the international arena in the second half of the spring. By the way, in this season they have already added the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup to their list of trophies. But most importantly, there are good chances to retain the Big-eared trophy. At least, the Spaniards not only comfortably passed the group stage but also knocked out Liverpool. In the next round, there will be another representative of England, not a stranger to Ancelotti's Chelsea. Despite these successes, there are increasingly loud rumors now about the possible departure of Carlo, for example, to the Brazilian national team. And even potential successors are named, from Pochettino to Raúl. The reason is clear: the royal club is far behind its eternal competitor on the internal arena. Moreover, the first part of the season was successful, but then more and more failures occurred. Up to 0-1 in the first semifinal when Militao scored the only goal at Santiago Bernabéu, making an own goal in his own net. So now they need to win only at Camp Nou - this is the last chance to take at least some revenge against Barcelona.
This is already the 5th El Clásico this season. And after winning the first one, Real managed to lose in all 3 possible formats. After three consecutive victories, the culés in the first months of this calendar year are almost confident that everything will end up like this again. But the Los Blancos need to somehow redeem themselves for such failures and take at least 1 trophy on the internal arena. Therefore, we bet on a neutral total over 2.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
