Real Madrid vs Barcelona live stream: How to watch Copa del Rey semi-final first leg online

This article provides information on how to live stream Real Madrid vs FC Barcelona in the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg on Thursday 2 March 2023.

The first of three El Clasico’s in just 34 days, a period that could define the season for both clubs. Real Madrid could only cut that gap to eight points on Saturday as they were held to a 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid.

Nevertheless, the league title now looks to be a long-shot, with Carlo Ancelotti’s team therefore focussed on this competition, and the Champions League of course. Bizarrely, Los Blancos haven’t featured in a Copa del Rey Final since 2014, picking up their 19th title by beating Barca back then.

So far this season, there have been two Clasico’s, both of which have ended 3-1. In October, Real Madrid cruised to victory in La Liga before, three months later, Barcelona were far too strong in the Supercopa de Espana final in Saudi Arabia.

Barcelona do not make the trip to the capital in good mood, after a pair of disappointing results this week. First, seven nights ago, Xavi’s team were dumped out the Europa League by Manchester United, losing 2-1 at Old Trafford, despite leading at half time. This means Barca have failed to reach the round of 16 of a UEFA competition for the first time since 1985.

Then, on Sunday, they suffered their first league defeat since October, beaten 1-0 by Almeria. The Blaugrana are still in pole position at the top of the table, but cracks are suddenly starting to appear.
