Real Madrid is confronted with a seasonal confrontation with Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final of tonight in the Estadio La Cartuja.
Los Blancos has lost their chance to win a trophy -trial after a UEFA Champions League exit by Arsenal.
The position of Carlo Ancelotti is now under great pressure with the Italian coach who is expected to go through Madrid this summer while Xabi Alonso is waiting in the wings to replace him.
Ancelotti is expected to see the season in the Spanish capital while he seems to be fighting for the La Liga title and the Copa del Rey.
The Real Madrid campaign now depends effectively on their results against the Hansi Flick team with the couple that was also linked on 11 May in League Action.
If the battle at the top of the La Liga stretchings stays as close as it is currently, that collision can determine the title, but Real Madrid also needs Barcelona to drop points elsewhere.
Barcelona Club Icon Rivaldo gave his opinion about the situation with the former Brazil international who claims that his old rivals are against the campaign run-in.
“Real Madrid will do everything possible to try to save their season by being Copa del Rey Champions against their great rival,” he told an interview with Betfair, via Mundo Deportivo.
“We know that, in football, when it comes to a final between Barcelona and Real Madrid, there can be no clear favorite. We see that Barca is doing very well in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, but this is a different competition, and it is a single -footed final.”
This is the first El Clasico measurement in the Copa del Rey final since 2013/14, where Gareth Bale de Clincher scores famous in a 2-1 Real Madrid victory.
Rivaldo won a Copa del Rey Crown in his time in Catalonia via the 1997/98 final against Mallorca
