Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson can see Real Madrid defeating Barcelona in their Champions League semi.
If United make it through to Wembley, they will confront fabled Spanish opposition and one of the two best players in the world.
Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid atoned for their 5-0 League drubbing by Barcelona to beat Lionel Messi's side 1-0 in the Copa del Rey last Wednesday, with the extra-time winner headed emphatically by United old boy Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ferguson said: "When the draw was made I thought Real Madrid had a great chance. I think that 5-0 defeat would have hurt Mourinho deeply and he wasn't going to be beaten like that the next time."
