The goal fell in the 26th minute but Royal could not fight back. Barcelona lined up the Spanish giants at the Santiago Bernabeu. All the superstars were on the field for the faded Real this time in La Liga. At the same time, Barca were without Ousmane Dembele, Robert Lewandowski and Pedri, and the victory was much sweeter. The second leg semi-final match will be played at Barcelona’s ground on April 6.

Real Madrid’s superstar line-up consisting of Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Benzema and Vinicius controlled the front row and the team could not get a single shot on goal. It’s also a bad record. This is the first time that Real have failed to get a shot on target at home. 13 shots are in the account of Royal. But none reached the target. Barcelona had only 4 shots on target and 2 shots on target.
At the start of the game, Benzema’s ball hit the net but was caught offside, which was a setback for Real. After this, the goal came against the flow of the game. Real were able to gain a huge advantage in possession. Royal had 64.7 percent of the ball. This is the highest possession record in El Clasico since the 2013/14 season.
The two teams will meet once again in LaLiga on March 19, before a crucial second Copa del Rey match at the Camp Nou. Barcelona are currently seven points ahead of Real Madrid in La Liga. The Copa del Rey final will be played in Sevilla on May 6. The winners of the Barca Real clash will face either Osasuna or Athletic Bilbao, who won 1-0 in the second semi-final on Wednesday.
