adminLa Liga today. The match kicks-off at 5pm.
Holders Barca were dumped out of the King’s Cup by their arch-rivals on Tuesday, suffering a humiliating 3-1 semi-final second-leg battering in front of their own fans, to miss out on a place in the final.
With the defeat coming hot on the heels of their lame 2-0 Champions League last-16 first-leg reverse at AC Milan last week, alarm bells have been ringing at the Nou Camp as Barca’s season threatens to run out of steam.
They hold a 12-point lead over second-placed Atletico Madrid in the league, and a 16-point advantage over Real in third, but Barca are a side used to winning more than one title a year and anything less will spark talk of a decline. On the other hand, Real, who have written off their chances of retaining their league crown, come out of the semi-final reinforced psychologically with their eyes firmly fixed on their quest for a 10th European Crown. – AFP.
