When Diego Simeone wants to speak to the media, he is usually straightforward, but today, on the eve of the Copa del Rey semi-final second leg against Barcelona (4-4 in the first leg), it wasn't one of those days.

The Argentine only revealed one card in the lineup he is preparing to try to reach the final. "Musso will play," he announced.

Tactical variations?

"César, Reinildo, and Javi can play," he explained about the options on the left flank.

"Conor plays with higher intensity, and Rodrigo may have more talent. Barrios has intensity in dynamics and pressure, and Koke has the ability to read the game like no one else," he analyzed about the midfield.

Refereeing and the season's balance

Cholo also didn't want to revive the controversy over the disallowed penalty in the Champions League against Real Madrid, "Barcelona," he replied bluntly to a colleague's question.

"For me, the season is being very good, we are in the Copa del Rey semi-finals, and the game-by-game will say if it's extraordinary, good, or regular," he sentenced.
