The biggest rivalry in club football reignites this Saturday as Barcelona face Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey Final at the Estadio de La Cartuja. With both giants of Spanish football pushing hard in the La Liga title race, this one-off cup showdown promises high drama, top-tier talent, and plenty of fireworks.
Both teams come into the final off the back of narrow 1-0 wins in midweek La Liga action. Barcelona edged past Mallorca with a second-half goal from Dani Olmo, while Real Madrid saw Arda Güler shine in a rotated lineup as his long-range effort secured the win over Getafe.
Possible Starting Lineups
Barcelona (4-2-3-1):
Szczesny; Kounde, Cubarsí, Iñigo Martínez, Alejandro Balde; Frenkie de Jong, Pedri; Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, Raphinha; Ferran Torres.
Real Madrid (4-3-3):
Thibaut Courtois; Federico Valverde, Asensio, Antonio Rüdiger, Fran García; Luka Modrić, Tchouaméni, Jude Bellingham; Rodrygo, Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior.
Prediction: Who Will Win the Copa del Rey Final?
It’s always risky to call an El Clásico, but with Mbappé and Vinicius in explosive form and Courtois back between the sticks. That said, if Yamal and Olmo combine well and Pedri controls midfield, Barcelona can swing it their way.
Prediction: Real Madrid 0-3 Barcelona
