Real Madrid and Barcelona face off in Copa del Rey semi final

Real Madrid and Barcelona will do battle in a mouth watering Copa del Rey semi final clash, following the draw at the Estadio Benito Villamarin this afternoon.

The two great rivals will meet in Copa del Rey action for the first time since the 2014 final, where Real Madrid won 2-1, thanks to Gareth Bale's memorable late goal. 

They will face each other three times between now and the end of the season, and potentially more, depending on their respective progress in the Champions League.

The first leg will be played at the Nou Camp on February 6th or 7th, with the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu on February 27th or 28th, with the second leg coming just three or four days before they meet in La Liga action in Madrid.

Real Betis, who are hosting this years final, face Valencia in the other semi final – with Quique Setien's side at home in the first leg.
