DBasia.news – El Clasico in the Copa del Rey semi-final leg which took place at the Camp Nou, Thursday (7/2) early morning Western Indonesian Time, ended in a 1-1 draw between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Lucas Vazquez’s opening goal was equalized by Malcom’s equalizing goal.
Unfortunately, Santiago Solari’s squad failed to lock the victory because the home side were able to equalize through Malcom’s goal in the 57th minute.
Responding to the draw that must be accepted by his team, one of Barcelona’s mainstay midfielders, Sergio Busquets finally opened his voice. Although a little disappointed because his team failed to win and failed to set one foot in the top party, the Spanish player judged if the draw is very fair for both teams.
“Both teams (Barcelona and Real Madrid) have the opportunity to be able to score goals, but I don’t think there is a decent team to be the winner in this match,” Busquets said after the match reported by Marca.
“In the first round, Real Madrid also seemed to rely solely on counterattacks, so a draw seemed fair to both teams,” added the 30-year-old player .
A draw could be said to be quite detrimental for Barcelona, especially they also acted as the host and played in front of their own supporters. Not only that, in the first volume of El Clasico, Barca successfully humiliated El Real with a score of 5-1 – which then made Julen Lopetegui lose his job.
The decider match for the team who successfully advanced to the Copa del Rey final will be decided in the second leg match which will take place at the Santiago Bernabeu on 28 February.
