Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric says their Copa del Rey semifinal is wide open against Barcelona.

Barca have the edge in the tie courtesy of an Eder Militao own goal.

Modric said, "It's a shame because we did very well, although we lacked a bit of accuracy up front. We created a few chances and we couldn't finish them off, but I think we played a pretty good game. It's a pity we couldn't get at least a goal and go into the second leg with a draw, but there's one more game left and we have to be calm and confident that we can do better and win there.

"We don't look at their injured players, because Barcelona are always a great team regardless of whether they have injuries or not. We created enough to be able to score a goal, although we didn't. They scored a lucky one and they won the game, but I think we were better."

On the return leg, Modric added: "There's one game left and I'm confident in the team and that we can turn this around."
