Next month, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona will play again in the second match of the Copa Del Rey semifinals. In the first match, the score ended in a 4-4 draw, so there is still no certainty who will advance to the final round. However, seeing how Barcelona defeated Atletico Madrid in the La Liga match, I think the biggest possibility is that Barcelona will advance to the final.
And indeed under the guidance of Hansi Flick, Barcelona has made a lot of progress, and now they have even become a team that is quite respected not only in the domestic league but also at a higher level such as the Champions League.
Barcelona's motivation will certainly increase to increase the number of trophies this season and they are also ambitious to get the Copa Del Rey, La Liga and Champions League trophies so Hansi Flick will definitely try to do his best to make their chances of qualifying for the final even greater. Barcelona is much more favored to advance to the final because in terms of quality they are much more prepared compared to Atletico Madrid who have currently lost almost all their trophies.
But even so, this will be a slightly more difficult match because Hansi Flick must try to adjust the players in rotating before the match so that they do not experience injuries that could affect them in the Champions League and also need to be vigilant because Atletico Madrid themselves will certainly not let them win the match easily.
If Barcelona manages to beat Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey semifinals, then they will most likely meet Real Madrid again. And as we know that Barcelona has quite good experience when facing Barcelona, especially if we talk about the competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid this season, it is clear that Barcelona is a fairly favored team. So I feel quite sure that Barcelona will win the Copa del Rey trophy again.
Meanwhile, regarding their chances of winning the La Liga title, Barcelona is indeed a fairly favored team, but they still have to compete closely with Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in the fight for the title. Likewise regarding their chances in the Champions League, where the journey to win the title is still quite long and difficult.
It may not be time to say anything about the Copa del Rey trophy yet because Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid are still in their best form. Barcelona is currently in the best form, that's true, but they need to do better and Atletico can come back with better preparation. I expect Real Madrid to play better and more aggressively in the upcoming matches and they will do that.
In the competition they are going through in La Liga, Real Madrid seems to have more potential than Barcelona. In the Champions League, I also consider them the best team to win the trophy in the final. Barcelona is a popular team, that's true, but in the same way, Real Madrid's performance is also improved at this situation.
