Barcelona vs Real Madrid Match Preview :
Copa Del Rey’s Attraction:
The Copa Del Rey or the King’s Cup is an annually based football cup competition for the football teams of Spain. It is the oldest Spanish football competition and was found in 1903 for the first time. The winner of the King’s Cup goes to the UEFA Champions League but if the winner also qualifies for the UEFA Champions League then the loosing team of the final goes to the Europa League.
Barcelona Team News:
After Champions League elimination last week, and with title hopes in La Liga seriously dented following the defeat at Granada, Barça’s best chance of finishing the season with a trophy comes tomorrow in the Copa del Rey Final at Mestalla against Real Madrid.
Neither team arrives to the game in the best condition with Barça struggling with defensive injuries and Madrid without Cristiano Ronaldo who scored the only goal of the game in the last Clásico cup final in 2011.
Tata Martino has named 24 players including the doubtful Marc Bartra, Gerard Piqué and Carlos Puyol and the injured Dos Santos and Cuenca for the trip to Valencia. Of all the first team squad players only injured keeper Victor Valdés has remained in Barcelona. Marc Bartra raised hopes that he can make it in time by training today with his team-mates though his participation tomorrow is still doubtful. Gerard Piqué and Carles Puyol both trained apart, Piqué seems to have little chance of playing but Puyol promised to give everything to be able to start.
Real Madrid Team News:
Real Madrid have been known to keep things tight at the back as they have kept clean sheets in all eight of their Copa del Rey matches to date. In the semi-finals they ran out 5-0 aggregate winners over La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid. They will most likely not have Cristiano Ronaldo as he is out with a hamstring injury for this clash. Therefore the responsility to get the goals will fall on Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale.
Last weekend Real Madrid showed they can do without Ronaldo when they beat Almeria 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. They will also want to avenge their defeat to Barcelona in the La Liga and their confidence have got better after they got to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has a tough decision to make on the participation of Ronaldo, Ronaldo will want to play, he always does but Ancelotti has to consider the consequences should Ronaldo play and aggrevate the injury he would more than likely miss the Champions League Semi final which is Real Madrid's true target this year. Ancelotti has alot of attacking talent at his disposal with Bale, Benzema, Di Maria, Moratta there is more than enough talent to allow Ancelotti to rest his star man.
