FC Barcelona and Real Madrid will play this Wednesday (9:00 p.m , Spanish peninsular time, live on La1 and Vamos) a spectacular Clásico from which the second finalist will emerge.

The qualification of CA Osasuna on Tuesday night leaves the clash on May 6 in Seville in the hands of the two giants of Spanish football to measure their forces in the Spotify Camp Nou.

The azulgranas have a slight advantage after their narrow win in the first leg against a team eager to turn around a match that will not count on the decisive value of goals scored away from home in case of a draw.

The eight previous semifinals have seen four wins for each team over the course of a competition in which both teams have won 50 copa titles in the 120 years of football's greatest competition.

For this opportunity, Barça will be missing Pedri, Démbélé, Christensen and Frenkie De Jong, while Mendy will also be absent due to injury for Ancelotti's side.

The referee from Alicante, Juan Martínez Munuera, will be in charge of directing this Wednesday night, a duel of global scope that will surely further enhance this exciting edition of the Copa de Todos.
