Madrid – In the first leg of the semi-finals of the Spanish Copa del Rey, the first of three football “Clasicos” within a month will take place on Thursday in Madrid’s Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. With Real and leaders FC Barcelona, the two top teams in the Primera Division meet, but both go into the explosive game with a lot of baggage. In terms of sport, things didn’t go as planned for both clubs recently, and there was also fuss regarding Real’s currently injured ÖFB star David Alaba.
