There's nothing like getting one over your fiercest rivals and that's exactly what Barcelona did on Wednesday night by knocking Real Madrid out of the Copa del Rey and their fans got even more delight by mocking Real's fans.
Barcelona won the latest installment of the Clasico on Wednesday night. Real Madrid were the better team for much of their Copa del Rey semi final, second leg, and had more shots but it was Barca who won 3-0.
The win means that the Catalan giants will have the chance to earn yet another domestic double this season, as long as they don't blow their lead in La Liga.
For Real the loss means that once again they are relying on winning the Champions League to save their season, although they have a happy knack of doing so.

The problem for Santiago Solari's team on Wednesday was their finishing. Marc-Andre ter Stegen had a good game in goal for Barca but Real still failed to score from 14 shots, with Barca only having four.
It might be too easy to say they were missing Cristiano Ronaldo more than ever last night but Barca fans stuck the boot in by singing 'Where is CR7?' to their rivals:
Real are currently nine points behind their fierce rivals in La Liga but do have a chance to close the gap on Saturday when the pair meet in the league.

The Bernabeu side are the second top scorers in the league this season but they have still managed to find the back of the net 22 times fewer than Barca.
Last season, under Zinedine Zidane, they scored 94 goals in the league, just five less than their rivals, but without Cristiano Ronaldo goals have been harder to come by this term for them.
Karim Benzema is their top scorer so far this season with 11 goals, Gareth Bale is second with seven, whilst Ronaldo has 19 for Juventus in Serie A.

After Saturday, Solari's team then take on Ajax in the Champions League knowing that going through and winning a fourth title in Europe in a row will be the only way to make a success of their season.
Who should Real sign to replace Ronaldo?
