THE BIGGER PICTURE

WHAT NEXT FOR REAL MADRID?
Real's tilt at a treble is still alive ahead of this week's Copa del Rey semi-final second leg against Real Sociedad, which they already lead 1-0 on aggregate. They then host Valencia in La Liga, before a trip to the Emirates in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Arsenal.
