Copa Del Rey 2012, In the first Cl?sico of 2012, Real Madrid suffered defeat once again. Los Blancos took an early lead, but lost 2-1 to fierce rivals Barcelona in the first leg of the Copa del Rey quarterfinals.

Although Cristiano Ronaldo silenced his critics by scoring the opening goal of the match, goals from Carles Puyol and Eric Abidal gave the reigning European champions the one-goal advantage heading into the second leg next Wednesday.

Los Blancos played well and executed their strategy, but Real Madrid manager José Mourinho will be frustrated that the team did not earn a positive result.
