Real Madrid coach Santiago Solari has described as "curious" Barcelona having an extra day's rest before next week's Copa del Rey clash between the two sides, the first of two El Clasico derbies in four days.
Barca face Sevilla on Saturday while Madrid are away to Levante on Sunday before the two rivals meet in the second leg of their cup semi-final at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday, with the historic rivals level at 1-1 after the first match at the Camp Nou.
"We find it funny," Solari said at a press conference on Saturday. "It's curious. But playing in different conditions, it entertains us a lot and we see it as a challenge."
"You can see (it was not deliberate) in the action itself and Sergio cleared it up afterwards. We have no doubts about it."
