Barcelona are hot favourites to beat historic rivals Real Madrid in the Spanish King's Cup final on April 20, to judge by different online polls on Thursday.
On Wednesday Barca swept into the final with a 3-0 win at Almeria, while Real beat Sevilla 2-0 at home.
An online poll taken by Madrid sports daily Marca showed 62.1 of readers - most of whom are Real fans - think Barca will win the final.
A similar poll taken by Catalan daily Mundo Deportivo was even more emphatic, with no less than 73 per cent of readers identifying Barca as the favourites.
The twin giants have clashed five times already in Spanish cup finals, with Barca winning three times and Real twice. Their last final clash was in 1990, when Barca won 2-0 in Valencia.
Real have not won the cup since 1993. It is still not clear where the final will be staged.
Curiously, the final will come just four days after Real and Barca clash in the league Clasico, in Madrid on April 16. Barca are seven points ahead of the whites atop La Liga.
