In soccer, it doesn’t get much bigger than Barcelona vs. Real Madrid, an enormous rivalry out of Spain pitting two of the most important clubs in the world against one another. And on Saturday, it takes place once again, except this time, with a trophy – the coveted Copa del Rey – on the line.
To get to this point in the Copa del Rey, Barcelona had to first get by another major Spanish team, Atletico Madrid, over two legs. The first leg, which took place in Madrid, ended 4-4, a high-scoring, back-and-forth affair in which neither defense covered itself in glory. Four different players scored for Barcelona in the matchup, including young starlet Pedri, an exceptional midfielder with enormous potential.
