El Clasico is clearly more contested and this will happen for the umpteenth time this season. In terms of quality, Barcelona still controls the game. Real Madrid must prepare themselves as best they can because Barcelona will make the final match a nightmare for Madrid.
Regarding today match, ATM could not penetrate Barcelona solid back line from all directions, launching attacks but still unsuccessful. And in Leg 2 only 1 goal was scored but the rhythm of the game was really tense from the first minute until the whistle blew.
What do you think about the upcoming El Clasico and which team is favored to win the Copa del Rey this season?
Well folks, the match is finished. wWhat a warzone that semifinal leg was. Barcelona did not only defend. They threw of the key and shut the gates. While Atletico Madrid was launching bombs from all sides, Barca's backline? Undouchable. Ruthless. Yamal was fantastic, Ferran played like a top striker. And no Lewandowski in the XI? Still no problem
Now El Clasico in the Copa del Rey final? Oh, you claim Barcelona rules the game. I say they might own the tempo. Twenty-one games perfect in 2025, Hansi Flick's press is tight enough to be a drum. BUT never count Madrid out in a final. Ten of sixteen finals vs Barca are victories. Rüdiger has ice running through him. Bellingham and Mbappé can turn any script upside down. But if Ferland Mendy and Courtois are still in limbo, and with Militão & Carvajal basically on extended vacation, that high Barca line is gonna carve them open
