Two Behemoths Laliga have already played twice this season, in the Spanish Super Cup and in the League, with the Catalans winning comprehensive two (5-2 and 4-0).

The Copa Del Rey Final It will be 260 El Clasico – the most played match in the history of Spanish football – and the 39th match in the Internal Cup competition.

Both teams will also meet again in the league just two weeks after the final in what can be a crucial 90 minutes in terms of the destination of this seasons.

Before that busy game has the small issue of other domestic silver to be won, with Barricie You are looking to lower the trophy for the first time since 2021 (4-0 vs. Athletic club).

Barcelona has won most Copas del Rey in history

Blaugranes have an excellent record of all time in the competition (31 titles, most of each team) and have won the title in nine of their last 12 finals.

However, two of those 12 losses were for Los Blancos (0-1 in 2011 and 1-2 in 2014) with the other against Valencia in 2019 (1-2).

Barcelona vs Athletic Club is the only match played more times in the Copa del Rey finals than El Clasico (nine), and the equilibrium of the seven finals between Barca and True So far there are four titles for all whites and three for the Catalans.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side can love their chances given that Real have won their last two finals: VS Barcelona 2-1 in 2014 and VS Osasuna 2-1 in 2023, the latter played in Estadio de la Cartuja, who is the last place for Saturday’s final.

Real Madrid has not taken over the loss of Kroos

However, the Flashscore’s césar suárez is not that safe.

“The first thing I would tell you is that Real Madrid have not yet received Tony Kroos’s pension. The team didn’t need Mbappéthey needed a player in the kroos mold, ” He said.

“Second, the protection. Caravan AND MillingTheir injuries have been devastating and despite Fran GarciaImprovement, Ancelotti doesn’t believe as much as Mendy does.

“The Frenchman has been a shadow of himself, not to mention David estimateswho has returned from serious damage to a very, very, very low level.

“If the full back is vulnerable, it is mainly due to the lack of help from the wings. Both Rodrygo AND Vinicius Don’t protect well enough and Tchouameni It is he who has to give that protective balance to the team.

“Ancelotti can’t escape criticism. He always prioritizes the most experienced players even if they’re not playing well.

“Brahim or Big endFor example, it may be a better fit, but they will never start in big games if rodrygo, mbappe and vinicius are healthy.

“Also, Real Madrid passed 33 times in the Arsenal box during the Champions League clash and did not score a single goal from one of them … where is Joselu?”

Targets a virtual guarantee in El Clasico

The goals at least have to be guaranteed because there has been no draw in the last 16 Clasico in all competitions (10 Wins for Real, six for Barca).

This is their longest turn in the last 58 years since a 17 -game execution between 1960 and 1967 (11 wins for Los Blancos and six for Barcelona), and Barca will almost certainly be the fact that Laliga’s top scorer ” Robert LewandowskiIt is unlikely to be endangered in this game so as not to worsen its damage.

If the game cannot be resolved during normal or additional time, then only the second purpose of the Clasico sentence will develop. The first came in the second match of the Copa de la Liga quarter-finals in the Santiago Bernabeu, when Barca won 4-1.

Although the Catalans have won their last penalty sales in all competitions, both of which they had in the final saw them lose to Steaua Bucharest in the 1986 European Cup (0-2), and win the Copa Rey final against Mallorca (5-4).

The actual form of Barca gives them advantage over the true eternal rivals

Real record in filming should give them confidence if their players have to grow from 12 yards to win the match against their tougher rivals.

They have won 11 of their 15 shoots in all competitions, and are currently in their best race, winning the last five in a row. In the finals, they have won all three (all against Atletico Madrid): 1975 Copa del Rey (4-3), 2016 Champions League (5-3) and Spanish Cup 2020 (4-1).

Formed is the current form that dictates that Barcelona will enter the final this weekend as strong favorites, however.

They have lost only one of their last 27 games in all races- (W22 D4) -A 3-1 UCL loss in Borussia Dortmund. With 22 wins at the time, they have the second largest in all the competitions in the five major European leagues after only PSG (23).

Otherwise, Real Madrid have played 56 games in all competitions so far this season – one more than those in last season (55) – and have lost 12 of those 56 games compared to just two season.

No wonder David Olivar of Flashscore has nothing but positive things to say about the Catalan giants.

“Barca arrives in the Copa del Rey final in their prime minister. Invincible within 2025 (performing brilliantly in La Liga, Copa del Rey and Super Cup), they have lost only one Champions League match in the calendar year, in the second trivial match of Quarterfinals against Borussia Dortmund,” He noted.

Ferran Torres Should grow in the absence of Robert Lewandowski

“Flick’s problem for the final is the absence, stopping a last -minute surprise of Lewandowski, who is suffering from a semitendinosus muscle injury in his left thigh. The Polish Hitman has been enjoying himself in Catalonia and is Laliga’s soreer in 36.

However, both ferran Torres (which opened the score against Celta Vigo last Saturday) and Dani Olmo (who scored the only goal of the game on Tuesday against Mallorca) are showing very high levels of performance.

“Then there RaphinhaThe big surprise of the season, which is the second top scorer in the Champions League, and in midfield Pedic He is enjoying the best form of his career, directing Barca matches as desired.

“Yamal of petsWho has been a little far from the rhythm in the last games, will want to make a difference again, but everything can happen in a final.

“A final to be the first to be played in Estadio de la Cartuja new, as the athletics track is now gone.”
