BARCELONA (Reuters) – Holders Barcelona will play Valencia in the two-legged semi-finals of the King’s Cup and Sevilla will take on Celta Vigo following the draw on Friday. Valencia are yet to win in the league in seven matches under former England defender Gary Neville and face the ominous task of taking on last season’s treble winners who are top of La Liga and unbeaten in 25 games in all competitions. Celta, surprise winners over Atletico Madrid in the last round, are up against an in-form Sevilla. Both first-leg matches are on Feb. 3. (Reporting by Tim Hanlon in Barcelona, editing by Ed Osmond) 

Growing up as a Formula One fan, I was always vaguely aware that there was a sport called NASCAR. But when I actually got to know more about it, it didn't take me long to get hooked. My closest encounter with NASCAR was back in 2009 when my family took a picture of me next to one of Dale Earnhardt Jr?s cars. Since then, I?ve only grown to appreciate the sport a lot better. Aside from motorsports, I have always been fond of writing. So a marriage between the two made perfect sense before it led me to pursue a degree in literature and a PG Diploma in journalism. At EssentiallySports, I discovered my passion for researching. I can just lose myself in one of the infinite rabbit holes and accrue lots of knowledge about NASCAR. To date, I have written over 14,000 articles, but I?m not really a numbers person. What I consider my greatest achievement is getting some of my articles listed as sources on Wikipedia.

Since then, I?ve only grown to appreciate the sport a lot better. Aside from being a big motorsports fan, I have always been fond of writing. So a marriage between the two made perfect sense.
