Copa del Rey

Carvajal or Lucas Vázquez, a dilemma on the left side and a traffic jam in the middle. Carlo Ancelotti has big decisions to make.

The Brazilian overflowing with confidence and is a regular in the big games. It is not at all bizarre to think that Ancelotti could repeat the 4-2-3-1 that he had so much joy against Valladolid... [maintain the overall Clásico record](https://en.as.com/soccer/who-has-won-more-copa-del-rey-titles-barcelona-or-real-madrid-n-2/). And with Camavinga, seen as a step ahead of Tchouameni, it’s up to Kroos to fight for the position with Valverde and Ceballos. Unless the intention is to jump onto the battlefield without armor, attacking weapons flailing, given everything from the start in an attempt to surprise the opponent, quieten the crowd and, ultimately, The only thing that seems untouchable is the attacking trident, where, together with Vinicius and Benzema, Rodrygo has earned his stripes. This is where the possibility of Nacho comes into play, as he already did in the league duel. Carletto is not accustomed to experimenting in big games, but the recent brilliance of the Galician, together with the doubts that the man from Madrid has been sowing for months, spark more debate than normal at right back. Only one can accompany Militao in the center of defense; with Nacho, theoretically, behind in that race. [now-very-much-aligned Vinicius and Benzema](https://en.as.com/soccer/real-madrid-benefit-from-benzema-vinicius-evolution-n/), Rodrygo has edged himself into the plans. Across the rest of the backline there are other doubts. But beyond that, the dilemma is burning.

The Copa Del Rey semifinal match between Barcelona and Real Madrid will take place on Thursday, April 6 at 12:15 am IST at the Camp Nou.

The Los Blancos have yet to reach the finals of the Copa Del Rey since their win in the 2014-15 season when they beat the Blaugrana in the finals. Coincidently these are the kind of tactics that Real Madrid have used over the years and Xavi beat them at their own game in the first leg. Both, Barcelona and Real Madrid, have comfortably won their recent La Liga fixtures as the Catalan Giants defeated Elche 4-0 in an away fixture while Los Blancos thrashed Real Valladolid 6-0 in a home fixture.

Barcelona and Real Madrid face off in another El Clasico on Wednesday night in the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final at the Nou Camp.

The former should give them more solidity in transition though the absence of Frenkie de Jong is certain to have a significant impact not only defensively but playing out from the back or weaving out from pressure. Barcelona rested a number of players in their 4-0 win over Elche perhaps with an eye on the second leg semifinal. Not only is the Catalan side looking to go through but they are also looking for their fourth consecutive win over their eternal rivals in the process. The only time Xavi’s been able to count on these four players was in the Spanish Super Cup final.

The fifth and final Clásico of the season has a spot in the Cup title game at stake.

They know how to win two-legged ties, and they’re really hungry to beat Barça this time. This will be nervous, tense, and it wouldn’t be a shock to see Los Blancos pulling off the Remontada. And Barça will have to find a way to win another Clásico without four crucial starters as Frenkie De Jong, Pedri, Andreas Christensen and Ousmane Dembélé all miss out due to injury. Barça will have a chance to complete the league and Cup double if they find a way past their main rivals, but it won’t be easy to get this one. But thinking they can replicate the exact same strategy and win again is not very smart. Carlo Ancelotti’s side is healthy and very experienced in big elimination matches, and the recent losses to Barça make them even more dangerous for this one.
