Whenever Real Madrid and Barcelona meet on the field, it’s considered a big day in the world of soccer. The two fierce rivals will play twice this week, first on Wednesday and then again on Saturday at Santiago Bernabeu .

A spot in the Copa del Rey final is on the line on Wednesday after the first leg at Barcelona ended in a 1-1 draw. Real Madrid holds the slight advantage in this match due to the away goal scored at Camp Nou. The last time Real Madrid played El Clasico at home without Ronaldo was on May 2, 2009. Barcelona won that match 6-2, with braces from Lionel Messi and Thierry Henry. Now with Ronaldo at Juventus, it’s an uphill battle for Real Madrid to get a result. In their first league meeting in October, Barcelona won 5-1 thanks to a hat trick from Luis Suarez.
