Barcelona chief Cruyff celebrates Real Madrid Copa semi draw

Barcelona technical director Jordi Cruyff insists they should embrace their Copa del Rey semifinal against Real Madrid.

Barca and Real have been drawn together today, with Osasuna and Athletic Bilbao paired in the other semi.

Cruyff said: “It will be a great game. Not just for the Copa del Rey. A great game worldwide. If you want to win the Copa you have to beat them all. A very special game is coming.”

Barca beat Real Madrid in the final of the Supercopa de Espana, but Cruyff added: “The players have already forgotten what it was like a month ago. You have to think ahead.

“We compete for everything. It’s a historic rival. And they won’t be thinking about the Supercopa match. We started from scratch and it will be a beautiful battle,”
