Barcelona hold a slender one-goal advantage going into the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final clash with arch-rivals Real Madrid.
Eder Militao unfortunate's own goal more than a month ago puts Xavi Hernandez and co in the ascendancy, just as they comfortably are in LaLiga. The two teams' other El Clasico meeting in March, a seismic league fixture at the Camp Nou, was dramatically won 2-1 by Barcelona as they took a 12-point lead at the top of the table courtesy of Franck Kessie's 92nd-minute winner.
With a final against Osasuna - who beat Athletic Bilbao 2-1 on aggregate - in the offing on Saturday, May 6, Real Madrid will be out for revenge after their first-leg defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu and have been handed a boost thanks to some injury issues for Barca. Andreas Christensen, Ousmane Dembele, Frenkie de Jong and Pedri have all been left out of Xavi's squad due to injury.
