Team news

Barcelona news

In the weekend's 0-0 draw with Granada, Barcelona defender Eric Garcia was pulled out with a hamstring injury, and the former Manchester City man might be out for up to five weeks.

Garcia joins Sergi Roberto and Martin Braithwaite in the hospital, although Pedri and Ferran Torres, who were previously COVID-positive, have been cleared to play alongside Frenkie de Jong, Ronald Araujo, and Ansu Fati.

Gavi's ban will be carried over to his team's next La Liga match, with Clement Lenglet ready to fill in for Garcia in the back four.

Real Madrid news

Carlo Ancelotti has stated that Mariano Diaz and Gareth Bale are Real Madrid's main injury concerns for the semi-final, with Dani Carvajal and Luka Jovic both fit and ready to play.

If Carvajal is declared fit enough, he might replace Lucas Vazquez in the starting lineup, with the rest of Ancelotti's backline remaining unchanged.

The former Everton manager is unlikely to make many changes from the team that defeated Valencia, with Federico Valverde - who famously tugged Alvaro Morata down when he was clean through on goal in the 2020 final - starting on the bench.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid predictions

With Benzema, Vinicius, and the rest of Real Madrid's starting XI on fire right now, a weakened Barcelona side cannot expect to be favorites heading into Wednesday's semi-final.

La Blaugrana will give it their all for a realistic chance at a trophy, but Ancelotti's high-scoring side has the firepower to go to the final on Sunday.

Prediction: Barcelona 1-3 Real Madrid
