Former Russian national team striker Dmitry Bulykin shared his expectations from the first semi-final match between Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Spanish Cup. The expert noted that the teams are of almost equal strength, but Real Madrid has an advantage, according to Bulykin, due to a number of factors.
“This El Clasico is always a big hit, whatever the Cup. Real Madrid and Barcelona fans collide – it’s always an interesting confrontation. Real Madrid know how to come together for such important matches and I think Real Madrid are a minor favourite. They are almost on par in terms of gameplay, despite the fact that these are the two major teams where the army of fans is rooted. But by chance and to add key moments if possible, I think Real Madrid is stronger than Barcelona. I think Madrid can win this cup match, ”said Bulykin socialbites.ca.
The King’s Cup semi-final first leg between Real Madrid and Barcelona will be played on Thursday, 2 March at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 23:00 Moscow time.
