Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:11:36 GMT

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — It’s time for Real Madrid to switch back into championship mode for the final part of what has been an inconsistent season.Madrid will play Osasuna in the Copa del Rey final on Saturday following a stretch of poor showings in the Spanish league, where the title has long been out of reach.Carlo Ancelotti’s players have been playing far from their best with their focus clearly on the game in Seville against Osasuna — and on what’s to come just after.Three days later, Madrid will play the first leg of its highly anticipated Champions league semifinal rematch against Manchester City. The second leg in England will be played on May 17.While Madrid’s top priority is to defend its continental title and lift a record-extending 15th European Cup, a victory over Osasuna would secure its first Spanish cup in nearly a decade and give it the chance for a pair of titles this campaign.Madrid has produced convincing wins over Liverpool and Chelsea in the Champions League kno...
