JAKARTA Barcelona will welcome their rival Real Madrid for the El Clasico match in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals in the morning. The host Blaugrana is in the wind.

This duel, which is thick with rivalry, will take place at Barcelona's headquarters at Camp Nou Stadium, Thursday, April 6, 2023 in the morning WIB. Kick off or kick off the start of the match starts at 02.00 WIB.

The Blaugrana are in a more confident position after returning from Madrid with a 1-0 win in the first leg last month. Los Blancos at that time missed through their defender Eder Militao's own goal.

In addition to winning capital in the first leg, Xavi Hernandez's team also just won their fifth straight win in all competitions after beating Elche 4-0 in the latest match in La Liga, last Sunday.

Two of the five wins during that period were obtained by Xavi's troops over Real Madrid, each in the first leg of the Copa del Rey and La Liga. In addition, they also conceded only one goal in the series of victories.

The Blaugrana home record is no less amazing this season. So far only Bayern Munich have been able to beat them at Camp Nou in the group stage of the European Champions League last October.

Since being humiliated 0-3 by Bayern, Barcelona have had nine unbeaten matches ahead of their own supporters. Their last win in that span of time came at home to Madrid.

Thus, their efforts to reach the Copa del Rey final for the eighth time in 10 seasons seem to be easy. The reason is, Madrid comes with a record of no wins in the last two away matches.

Carlo Ancelotti's side certainly have ambitions to go to the final again after the last time they did it in the 2013/2014 season. However, they have also lost three times to Barcelona in the previous four clashes this season.
