MADRID (AP): Barcelona and Real Madrid are on the verge of meeting in the Copa del Rey final.
Both teams head into the return leg of the semifinals holding the advantage. Record 25-time champion Barcelona leads Almeria 5-0 before Wednesday's game, and Madrid won 1-0 at defending champion Sevilla.
The domestic cup competition could be Madrid coach Jose Mourinho's only chance to win silverware this season. In the league, Barcelona leads Madrid by seven points.
Madrid, which has won all 16 games played at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, hasn't won any trophy for two-plus seasons. It won its 17th - and last - Copa del Rey in 1993.
The final is scheduled for April 20 - four days after the pair meet in the league.
