Real Madrid sets a condition to beat Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final

A Spanish press report revealed the behind-the-scenes story of what happened inside the dressing room at Real Madrid after Barcelona qualified for the Copa del Rey final, scheduled for the 26th of this month.

The Catalan club achieved a valuable 1-0 victory at Atlético Madrid, securing a place in the final and setting up a date with Real Madrid, who advanced at the expense of Real Sociedad.

Journalist Edu Aguirre, on the famous Spanish program “El Chiringuito,” revealed that he spoke with very important figures in the Real Madrid dressing room.

He explained: “After the Barcelona-Atlético Madrid match, they told me that Barça played very well and that they were a great team, especially in the first 60 minutes, before the team fell.”

The source added, according to the Spanish program: “We can beat Barcelona. If we work hard, fight, and hold out in the first 60 minutes, we will defeat them, because we (Real Madrid) are physically superior to them. If we can work hard and compete during the first hour of play, we will win the final.” It’s worth noting that Real Madrid has faced significant difficulties against Barcelona this season, suffering two heavy defeats: the first in La Liga (4-0), and the second in the Spanish Super Cup final (5-2).
