VS
COPA DEL REY DREAM FINAL ?
The prospect of an early chance for Jose Mourinho to avenge their humiliating 5 – 0 league defeat to arch rivals Barcelona end of November last year - their only loss suffered in the league this season looks all the more likely now , especially after the latter latest progression in the competition with a 6 – 3 aggregate victory against Real Betis ( winning 5 - 0 at home in the first Leg , but lost 3 - 1 in the second leg match last night ) . Despite the shock defeat in the away leg last night , the Catalans still had done enough to qualify for the Semifinals and avoided an early meeting with Real Madrid too , making way for a possible ' El Clasico ' Cup Final !
The other two confirmed sides in the last four of the Copa Del Rey are Sevilla and Almeria . Barcelona victory last night set up a Semifinal Match with Almeria and Real Madrid will play Sevilla in the other semifinal , after their 1-0 away second leg victory against Atletico Madrid last night .
Both Barcelona and Real Madrid are currently neck to neck in the League Title race with four points separating between the two sides . It will be a really interesting and exciting encounter to see the two sides square off for their very first silverware of this League Season should both sides manage to progress all the way to the Cup Final from their two – legged Home and Away Semifinal encounter to be played on 26 January and 2 February 2011 .
The Copa Del Rey Cup Final will be held on 20 April 2011 .
