That’s one win in El Clasico matches so far this season, and Barcelona took the lead earlier this year when they met in Saudi Arabia in the Spanish Super Cup final.
Xavi’s side will be looking for a positive result to return to the Camp Nou for the second leg as they look to win the competition for the sixth time in nine years. And “Real” has not been able to lift the Cup trophy since 2014.
Barcelona must recover from their first stumble of the season, which saw them exit the Europa League at the hands of Manchester United and then lose to Almeria in La Liga.
