The second semi-final will be a cup version of El Clásico between 13-time winners Barcelona and Real Madrid. Jeddah will hold happy memories for Real Madrid, who lifted the trophy there a couple of years ago after beating Atleti on penalties. Barça meanwhile will be looking to turn what has been a disappointing season around in the New Year. They are out of the Champions League and so far off the pace in LaLiga that even a miracle might not be enough to get them back in contention. Putting one over their archenemies would do wonders for their morale. They made it to the final last time around only to lose in extra-time to Athletic - a game in which Leo Messi was sent off.
