Football Today: source from Sports Radio Brila FM Hard Tackle Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo will miss his side's Copa del Rey final against rivals Barcelona tonight. Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti confirmed that Ronaldo, 29, would not play in Valencia because of a hamstring injury. Madrid are perhaps cautious as they face holders Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final on Wednesday, 23 April. Ronaldo has missed Real's last three games with the injury but Ancelotti believes his side will be able to cope in the final, having lost just one of the 10 games the World Player of the Year has missed this season. In the meantime, Barcelona are third in La Liga - behind Real and leaders Atletico Madrid - following a shock defeat by Granada last weekend and last week went out of the Champions League to Atletico. That was the first time in seven seasons Barcelona, who have also been hit by a transfer ban by Fifa, had failed to reach the Champions League semi-finals but midfielder Andres Iniesta is hoping to to add to their record tally of 26 Copa del Rey wins. Question There can be only one winner here … Who is your winner?
