# Real Madrid v Barcelona: 'I have no magic potion' says Jose Mourinho as
|
|
expectation mounts in Madrid
|
|
|
|
## Jose Mourinho has tried to manage expectations of Real Madrid's Champions
|
|
League semi-final against Barcelona, stressing that Real's Copa del Rey win
|
|
has not made them the favourites

Real's 1-0 win in the tightly-fought final of the Copa del Rey - the second of
|
|
this month's four _El Clasico_ encounters - has given Madrid fans hope that
|
|
the tide of Spanish football might finally be turning against Barcelona.
|
|
|
|
Previously Madrid had not beaten a Pep Guardiola-coached Barcelona side in
|
|
seven attempts.
|
|
|
|
But Mourinho, who led Inter Milan to victory in last year's edition of
|
|
Europe's elite club competition before moving to Spain, pointed out that he
|
|
was the same coach who suffered a 5-0 La Liga drubbing at Barca's hands at the
|
|
Nou Camp in November.
|
|
|
|
"They are a top team with a top coach and everything is possible," he said.
|
|
|
|
"I am exactly the same coach who lost 5-0 to Barcelona and I don't have any
|
|
magic potion."

Sergio Ramos, Real's right back, echoed Mourinho. "We don't regard ourselves
|
|
as favourites because I don't think it serves for anything," he told his
|
|
team's website.
|
|
|
|
"If anything has led to success it's been simplicity, humility and hard work.
|
|
And those are the values we must uphold," he said on his club's website.
|
|
|
|
"Both Barcelona and Real Madrid have great players and nobody can predict what
|
|
will happen. We all know the responsibility we have and what it takes to
|
|
defend these colours and we know we have to give it everything."
|
|
|
|
"If one thing's clear it's that the coach will not change his philosophy, his
|
|
style or his habits. His ideas are clear and we're going to prepare the same
|
|
way."
|
|
|
|
While Barcelona are on course for a third straight league title, Madrid cruise
|
|
into Wednesday's first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium with more
|
|
confidence and a more rested team, since Mourinho left most of his regulars on
|
|
the bench against Valencia.
|
|
|
|
Madrid are without midfielder Sami Khedira, who has been key in stifling
|
|
Barcelona's attack. But forwards Emmanuel Adebayor and Angel Di Maria are
|
|
expected to be available with the latter leading the attack alongside
|
|
Cristiano Ronaldo and Mesut Oezil.
|
|
|
|
Defender Ricardo Carvalho is suspended while Ronaldo, Di Maria and defenders
|
|
Sergio Ramos and Raul Albiol are a booking away from missing the return leg on
|
|
May 3.
|
|
|
|
Barcelona's defence, meanwhile, is struggling without a natural left back,
|
|
with Adriano, Eric Abidal and Maxwell all out of action. Abidal's absence
|
|
coupled with the doubt over Carles Puyol's availability means Javier
|
|
Mascherano or Sergio Busquets is likely to partner Gerard Pique in central
|
|
defence.
