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.
