Barca sets up Copa ‘clasico’
Print Edition
Barcelona set up another Copa del Rey final against rival Real Madrid on Wednesday after drawing 1-1 at Real Sociedad to win their two-legged semifinal.
Real’s Antoine Griezmann scored in the waning moments to cancel out Lionel Messi’s first-half opener but the Spanish champions still reached the domestic cup final 3-1 on aggregate. Barcelona, the record 26-time cup champion, faces Madrid three years after losing to its bitter foe 1-0 in extra time in a classic final. Barcelona and Madrid go into the April 19th match having split their six previous meetings in the cup final. “It’s a ‘clasico,’ and there’s nothing more to say,” Barcelona coach Gerardo Martino said. “We were obliged to reach the final after Real Madrid ensured its place.”
