How Real Madrid could line up against Barcelona

Sports Mole looks at how Real Madrid could line up in Wednesday's Copa del Rey semi-final second leg with Barcelona.

Real Madrid will welcome Barcelona to the Bernabeu on Wednesday night for the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final, with the tie level at 1-1 from the first leg at Camp Nou.

Madrid have not won the Copa del Rey since 2014 and have actually only triumphed in the competition on two occasions since 1993, but they are on the cusp of this season's final.

Santiago Solari's side returned to winning ways in La Liga with a 2-1 success at Levante on Sunday night, but they are nine points off leaders Barca.

As a result, the Copa del Rey is certainly the club's best chance of securing some domestic silverware this season and they will be desperate to edge past their bitter rivals in the second leg.

Here, Sports Mole takes a look at how Madrid could line up in El Clasico.


Doubtful: Marcos Llorente (muscle), Isco (back)

Madrid will have their inspirational captain Sergio Ramos back after the centre-back missed the win over Levante on Sunday night through suspension.

Ramos for Nacho - sent off against Levante - could well be the only outfield change from the team that started against Levante, but there will be a spot between the sticks for Copa del Rey goalkeeper Keylor Navas.

Isco could be available following a back problem, but it seems unlikely that the Spaniard will even make the bench as his problems with Solari show no signs of being resolved.

A frustrated Gareth Bale shrugged off the celebrations of his teammates after scoring the winner at the weekend and the Welshman is expected to be back on the bench on Wednesday night, with Vinicius Junior and Lucas Vazquez joining Karim Benzema in attack once again.

Marcos Llorente is still struggling to overcome a muscular problem, but the Spaniard could make the bench to further boost Solari's options in the middle of the park.
