Barcelona play host to Real Madrid on Wednesday night, as both sides battle to reach the final of the Copa del Rey.

Barcelona won the first leg at the Santiago Bernabéu 1-0, but will need to get a draw at least, to go through to the final.

Barca boss Xavi Hernandez has warned his side of Carlo Ancelotti’s men, claiming that Real Madrid come into the tie as wounded lions.

“It doesn’t mean anything that we have won the last three Clasicos, tomorrow is another footballing war,” Xavi told reporters.

“They will be out for revenge, they will come here hurt, they have lost the last three. They will come here wounded, I am sure.”

Xavi also admitted that Real Madrid can beat any team on their day.

“Madrid come tomorrow and they can beat you perfectly well — they can against any team,” said Xavi.

“They have a lot of experience, they are used to mounting comebacks. They are still favourites for me.

“We were better in the league game and in the Super Cup, but we weren’t in the first leg.”
