The FC Barcelona suffered an overwhelming defeat 0-4 in front of the Real Madrid in the Spotify Camp Nou in the 'semis' of turn of the Glass of Rey. The Barcelona were not to the height of the commitment and neither the arbitration, that overlooked two possible penaltis that could change the course of the history.
