Barcelona to iron out defensive lapses

[Folami David]

Barcelona need to be more efficient in front of goal and iron out defensive lapses if they are to beat Real Madrid in the King's Cup last four, assistant coach Jordi Roura and midfielder Cesc Fabregas said on Monday.
.
Holders Barca have a slight advantage for Tuesday's semifinal second leg at the Nou Camp after securing a 1-1 draw at Real's Bernabeu stadium in last month's first leg.
.
However, they showed a lack of ideas in attack in losing 2-0 at an ultra-defensive AC Milan in last week's Champions League last 16 first leg and again appeared vulnerable at the back in coming from a goal down to rescue a 2-1 La Liga win at home to Sevilla on Saturday.
.
It was the 11th match in a row in all competitions in which the runaway La Liga leaders failed to keep a clean sheet.
.
"We have seen that some of the goals have been conceded through our own fault and we will try to correct that," Roura, standing in for Tito Vilanova while he recovers from throat surgery, told a news conference.
.
With Real forward Cristiano Ronaldo firing on all cylinders, a tight defence is particularly important for Barca, who play at the Bernabeu in La Liga on Saturday.
.
Before the first leg, the Portuguese had scored at least once in his last six "Clasicos" and headed the goal that gave Real a 1-0 victory over their arch rivals in the 2011 Cup final.
