Barcelona took a small advantage towards the final of the Copa del Rey on Thursday by winning 1-0 in their visit to Real Madrid in the first leg of the knockout tournament.
A own goal by Eder Militao (26) will allow Barça to face the return leg at Camp Nou on April 5 after a great exercise of resistance at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The Frenchman Ferland Mendy, with a muscle injury in the thigh of his left leg; the Austrian David Alaba, who suffers a muscle injury in the distal third of his right femoral biceps; and the Brazilian Rodrygo Goes, with an injury to the left piriformis muscle, continue to be absent. The three continued their respective recovery processes inside the Real Madrid Sports City in Valdebebas.
A training marked by low temperatures in the capital of Spain, in which Álvaro Rodríguez was, like one more of the first team.
The Uruguayan, with a registration from Real Madrid Castilla, the Madrid team's first subsidiary, and a great protagonist of the derby after scoring his first goal, completed the session with his mind set on the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals against Barcelona on Thursday (9:00 p.m. CET, -1 GMT) at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Lewandowski injured and misses Real Madrid vs. FC Barcelona
Lewandowski ended up injured in the LaLiga Santander match that his team lost this Sunday in Almería (1-0) and in which the azulgranas wasted a great opportunity to secure half the championship after the eternal rival's draw in the Madrid derby last Saturday.
The medical tests that the Polish striker has undergone today have detected an overload in his left thigh, although Barça has not wanted to specify the recovery period.
In any case, Lewandowski joins forward Ousmane Dembélé and midfielder Pedro González 'Pedri' in the list of Barcelona absences for the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals to be played this Thursday (9:00 p.m. CET) at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Also in doubt to face the white team is forward Ansu Fati, who was left out of the last league call-up due to a contusion in his left knee.
