Real Madrid and Barcelona have played each other four times already this season.

Madrid won the first El Clasico meeting 3-1 in a La Liga clash at the Santiago Bernabéu, before losing the next three to Barca in the Supercopa, La Liga and Copa del Rey first leg.

Ahead of Wednesday night’s Copa del Rey semi-final second leg tie, Ancelotti has vowed to get his pound of revenge.

“They have beaten us in the last three matches and I believe that tomorrow it’s time for us to win,” Carlo Ancelotti said in his press briefing ahead of the Barcelona match.

Meanwhile, reports claim Xavi has used these words to rather motivate his players.

According to Javi Miguel of Diario AS, Xavi and the coaching staff consider using these words to their advantage.

The report claims Xavi could print out Ancelotti’s quote and put it up in the dressing room at Camp Nou.

The idea behind it is to communicate to the players the importance of the game and motivate them to win.

Tonight’s game is expected to be a cracker.
