Key players for both Barcelona and Real Madrid at risk for suspension in final

Two players each for Barcelona and Real Madrid are in risk of being suspended for the Copa del Rey final should their team advance, if they receive a yellow card in today’s semifinal.

Jordi Alba, Luis Suárez, Sergio Ramos and Nacho are all one card away from a one-match ban, and will have to be on their best behavior to avoid a suspension. However, they may find that hard as today’s clásico has everything left to play for with both teams drawing the first leg 1-1.

Alba and Suárez are nailed-on starters for Barça, while Ramos is Madrid’s captain.
