Real Madrid vs Barcelona Preview
After the Copa match, Real Madrid visits Betis and Barcelona hosts Valencia to continue their particular rivalry at the top of the standings in the 24th round of LaLiga.
The league leader, Barcelona, who will be facing the "merengues" in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals, receives a Valencia in low spirits, marked for relegation to Segunda División.
Barcelona, eliminated from the Europa League last week by Manchester United, faces the match as a way to react in the championship after their defeat against Almería last weekend.
Real Madrid's draw with Atlético (1-1) allowed the "azulgranas" to maintain a comfortable seven-point advantage over the "merengues," but they cannot afford many more slip-ups.
Barcelona has the significant absence of Pedri in the midfield, while still awaiting the recovery of Robert Lewandowski, absent against Real Madrid this Thursday in the Copa. In addition, Raphinha, Gavi, and coach Xavi will be absent due to accumulated yellow cards.
