This Wednesday the second leg of the Copa del Rey between Barcelona and Real Madrid will be played out at the Camp Nou. Ahead of the game, ex-Barca player Yaya Toure analised the game in an interview with 'Marca'.
"In Europe, all teams fear Madrid, but Madrid fear Barcelona", the ex-footballer said about his ex-side. "Barca have the advantage. They won the first leg and they've got more chances in the second. I don't think it'll be a draw, and if it is it'll be like 2-2 or 3-3, I can't see a 0-0 or a 0-1. When you consider how Barca are at the moment, they'll win the tie and probably the tournament", he claimed.
When asked about any advice he'd given compatriot Kessie before he signed for the 'Cules', the ex-City player said that he listened to him: "He's doing well now. He doesn't get a lot of game time because Barca's squad is phenomenal, and there are a lot of quality players like Busquets, Gavi, Pedri or De Jong".
He ended by answering questions about Messi's future, now that the Argentine has been linked with Xavi's side in the last few weeks: "It would surprise me if he did. You never know what can happen in football".
