For the first time since the 2013–14 season, the Copa del Rey semifinals feature the three biggest clubs in Spain.
Back at the beginning of February, the Copa del Rey quarterfinals unfolded throughout Spain to determine the four teams moving on to the next stage of the competition. Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid, Barcelona and Real Sociedad all punched their tickets to the semifinals after coming out on top of their knockout matches.
The Copa del Rey semifinals draw put Barcelona against Atlético Madrid, while Real Sociedad matched up with Real Madrid. Between the Copa del Rey, the Champions League and La Liga, Diego Simeone's men must play Barcelona and Real Madrid in five of their next eight matches across all competitions.
First up are the Copa del Rey semifinals, where the four remaining clubs must prepare for a change in format.
