Real Madrid 0 - 1 Barcelona : Barcelona hold off Real Madrid in Copa del Rey first leg
(1st Leg)
Barcelona rode a first-half own goal from Real Madrid to a 1-0 win in their Copa del Rey semifinal first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu on Thursday night.
The LaLiga leaders came into the match without the injured Pedri, Ousmane Dembele and Robert Lewandowski.
Even without three of their top attacking players , Barca went in front before the half-hour when Ferran Torres picked off a poorly played back pass by Madrid and played in Franck Kessie, who had his attempt blocked by Thibaut Courtois only for Eder Militao to redirect the rebound into his own net.
The two sides meet again on March 19 in LaLiga, where Barcelona are currently seven points ahead of second-placed Madrid, before the decisive Copa del Rey second leg at the Camp Nou on April 5.
