Copa del Rey Final: Barcelona vs Real Madrid — Will Ancelotti Bow Out with Silverware or Will Flick's Barca "Punish" Real Madrid Again?

The stage is set for one of the biggest nights in Spanish football. On Saturday evening at Estadio de La Cartuja in Seville, Barcelona and Real Madrid will go head-to-head for the Copa del Rey title. It's more than just a trophy—this clash is soaked in history, pride, and a whole lot of pressure.

For Real Madrid, it’s a chance to salvage a season that’s been dented by their Champions League exit. For Barcelona, it's about keeping their dream of a historic quadruple alive under Hansi Flick.

Earlier this year, Barca embarrassed Madrid 5-2 in the Supercopa final. Can they do it again? Or will Ancelotti have the last laugh in what could be his final game?

Barcelona are flying under Hansi Flick. They’ve won 4 of their last 5 games in all competitions and are unbeaten in their last 8 Copa del Rey matches. They’re also 4 points clear at the top of La Liga and into the Champions League semis. Confidence? High.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid are still strong domestically but have been a little shaky of late. They just edged Getafe 1-0, but the memory of their 5-1 UCL hammering from Arsenal still lingers. They've won 3 of their last 7 in all comps and are missing key players like Camavinga, Carvajal, and Militao. Oh, and in case you forgot — Barcelona have already beaten Madrid twice this season. 

This fixture rarely disappoints when it comes to goals. Five of the last six meetings between these two sides have seen 4 or more goals, and both teams are stacked with attacking talent. Whether it’s Vinicius and Mbappe for Madrid or Yamal and Raphinha for Barca, expect fireworks. Also, both teams have shown leaky tendencies at the back recently, which only adds to the case. 

🔎Bet 1: Over 3.5 Goals at 2.30 odds on MSport. 

No-brainer. Even if Barcelona are in better form, Madrid always find a way to score. They’ve hit the net in 11 of their last 12 games across all competitions. Barca’s backline has been solid, but not bulletproof, especially with injuries creeping in. This is a final. Expect both teams to go for it—and find the net at least once each. 

🔎Bet 2: Both Teams to Score (Yes) at 1.49 odds on MSport.

✔️Over 3.5 goals 

✔️Both Teams to score (Yes) 

This isn’t just a cup final. It’s El Clasico with silverware on the line. Barcelona are in red-hot form, with belief flowing through their young team. Real Madrid, bruised from Europe and dealing with injuries, are still dangerous — but you get the feeling that Barca might just want it more.

The smart money? It’s on goals. It’s on drama. And it just might be on Barcelona lifting their 32nd Copa del Rey trophy.
