The 2020-21 Copa del Rey semi-finals are here, and fans surely have issues to pay attention to before each tie begins.
For those who were not aware, the Copa del Rey semis are played on a two-leg format, contrary to the rest of the competition where ties were decided in one game. The first legs of each clash will be played this week, while the return legs are scheduled to take place between March 3 and 4.
Here's a look at the games that will be taking place this week.
Sevilla vs Barcelona
The team coached by Julen Lopetegui will face a golden opportunity to get an edge over Barcelona, who's massive number of injuries could tip the scales in Sevilla's favor. Los Hispalenses have gone five games without a win against Los Culés, and this might be a good chance for them to end that streak. Curiously, their last game against Barcelona came in a Copa del Rey clash, so this might be a good chance for them to try and replicate that feat.
As for Barcelona, Ronald Koeman will have to come up with a great strategy that does not require many players, since several footballers have picked up different injuries. Up to eight players have been ruled out for this game due to injuries, and it will take something special from Koeman and Co. to escape this game unharmed.

Athletic vs Levante
The other tie that will decide who will play the final will be equally interesting, as two up and coming teams will lock horns with the title match in sight. Athletic will enter this game after winning six of their recent eight matches, while their rivals make it to the match on a nine-game streak without a loss, which includes wins against Real Madrid and Villarreal. With both teams still trying to make up for lost ground in La Liga, this could be the easy road to play European competitions next season, and neither one of these teams will want to waste that chance.
