MADRID (Reuters) - Villarreal have proved they can go toe to toe with Spain's elite this season but the team known as the 'Yellow Submarine' will need something special to get past Barcelona in Wednesday's King's Cup semi-finals.

Barca, the record winners, lead 3-1 from last month's first leg at the Nou Camp, when their Brazil forward Neymar had a second-half penalty saved, and are closing on a 27th triumph in the competition.
