With the morale sky high after their 1-1 draw against La Liga leaders, Villarreal won't be an easy task for the runner-ups. Barcelona is not taking it lightly.

Barcelona is only two games away from hoisting a trophy that in 2014 belonged to Read Madrid. Before doing so, they must maintain their lead over Villarreal, their rival in the Copa del Rey semifinal for the next 90 minutes. 

After Los Cules took advantage playing at home, they lead the series 3-1 heading into El Madrigal. Messi opened up the scoreboard and was followed by the goals of Iniesta and Pique. Neymar missed from the spot moments later. Trigueros scored for Villarreal and away goal that gives them hope for the second leg. 

Making it to the final would give Luis Enrique his first chance at winning a trophy with the team he took charge of in the summer of 2014. With a grand total of 26 Copa del Rey titles, Barcelona is the king of this cup.

Lucho will have to be careful with Javier Mascherano and Luis Suárez, they both are a yellow card from missing the final. Suárez is coming back to life and has scored three goals in his last two games regardless of the competition.

Villarreal is coming into this game right after stealing a point from Santiago Bernabeu. They did so even without playing all their starters trying to focus their efforts on the task ahead. Their morale must be sky high this time around. Unfortunately, out of the three times both teams have faced off, Villarreal has lost all three.

Those 11 players that started against Real Madrid could have earned their manager’s approval to start against Barcelona. Marcelino Toral wants to attack Barcelona from the start but without leaving open spaces for a counterattack.

Los Cules are coming into this match without any major injuries, while the Yellow Submarine can’t count on Bruno Soriano and Ante Rukavina. Both teams plan to send their best men available to start the game.

Whichever side wins in the aggregate will face either Espanyol or Athletic. Will it be an easy win for Barcelona, or a heroic performance by Villarreal?
