Real Madrid will host Barcelona in the first leg of the semifinals King Cup 2022-2023. The two sworn enemies must kill each other to pave the way to the final.
The duel between the two teams will take place at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, Friday (3/3), at midnight. This is the third El Clasico that will be presented throughout the 2022-2023 season.
The Copa del Rey is often underestimated because of its prestige, it still loses to La Liga and the Champions League. It's no wonder that Madrid and Barcelona often rotate their squads when they appear at this event.
But that will not be done in the next game. Madrid and Barcelona will almost certainly use their full strength to secure tickets to the final and be one step closer to winning the title.
Madrid is predicted to appear aggressive because it acts as the host. Los Blancos also carried a grudge against defeat in the Spanish Super Cup final last January.
But Barcelona did not come to lose. The Blaugrana certainly have a special formula to reduce Madrid's strength.
The tactical battle between Carlo Ancelotti and Xavi Hernandez is another attraction of the duel between the two teams. Madrid and Barcelona have the same chance to win.
