Football fans in the UK will now be able to watch the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final between Barcelona and Real Madrid on Wednesday night, after streaming service Eleven Sports secured the rights at the eleventh hour.
The deal is a welcome boost for the struggling online sports platform, and means that they have the exclusive rights to broadcast three El Clasicos in the space of just over three weeks.
