Our prediction for this Copa del Rey match:

Barcelona

Barcelona

Real Madrid

Real Madrid

Estadio de La Cartuja will be the centre of attention when Barcelona and Real Madrid lock horns in the Copa del Rey final. Barca are brimming with confidence following a well-deserved win over Mallorca, but they will have a big fish to fry against their bitter rivals. Key attacker Robert Lewandowski misses out with injury, while Brazilian winger Raphinha returns to the starting XI. The likes of Marc Casado, Marc Bernal, and Alejandro Balde miss out with injuries as well.

Los Blancos, on the other hand, aim to make amends for the unsuccessful 2024/2025 campaign. Kylian Mbappe faces race against the clock to be fit for Saturday’s showdown, while all Ferland Mendy, Dani Carvajal, and Eder Militao remain in the treatment room. Anyhow, both teams to score betting option should be considered as Barcelona look sharp up front and weak at the back. When the two teams met in the Spanish Super Cup earlier in 2025, Barcelona crushed Real Madrid 5-2.

Highlighted Team (Barcelona):

Barcelona

Barcelona is a Spanish football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia. Barca were founded in 1899 and they are regarded as one of the greatest clubs in world football. The Catalan giants won their 24th La Liga title in 2016, with Luis Suarez winning “El Pichichi” award. Barcelona have won five European Cup trophies and a number of top-class players were part of the team in the past.

The likes of Hristo Stoichkov, Romario, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Johan Cruyff, Diego Maradona and Pep Guardiola are some of many players that played for Barca in the past, but, no doubt, Leo Messi has established himself as the club’s trademark. Barcelona welcome their rivals at Camp Nou, the stadium that was built in 1957.

Barcelona’s local rivals are Espanyol, but the rivalry between Barca and Real Madrid is much bigger. The two La Liga giants face each other in “El Clasico”, which is considered one of the most exciting derbies in the world football. Barca are famous for their football youth school La Masia as well.
