FC Barcelona actually travels to Madrid at the worst possible time for the cup cracker (first leg). Xavi’s team has just been eliminated from the Europa League (against Manchester United) and lost to small Almeria (0:1) in the competition. In addition, midfielder Pedri, striker Robert Lewandowski and winger Ousmane Dembélé are missing three eminently important players.
But: Barça defied all expectations at the Santiago Bernabéu. The only goal of the match was scored by a Real Madrid player – and it came about in a curious way. With a last will, Kessie stumbled the ball onto goalkeeper Courtois’ case in the 27th minute. In a pinball action, Eder Militao eventually maneuvers the ball over his own goal line.
In the heated game (seven yellow cards), Barcelona is not better, but more efficient. And saddle-fastened at the back. The hard-fought 1-0 victory over arch-rivals should be balm to the soul of coach Xavi and his players. The second leg in Barcelona will take place on April 5 (10 p.m.). (par)
