It was 2014 when Barcelona and Real Madrid last faced each other in the Copa del Rey final. The encounter held major importance as Gareth Bale netted one of the most astonishing goals in football history. Thanks to that goal, Los Blancos clinched the match 2-1 and lifted the trophy at Mestalla. However, all that is now history as 11 years have passed, and neither team has the same group of players who could impact the outcome of their upcoming high-stakes showdown in the Copa del Rey final on April 27 at Estadio de La Cartuja in Seville.
Ahead of the contest, Carlo Ancelotti’s side issued a couple of media statements, expressing their apprehensions regarding the referee’s remarks prior to the final. At one point, rumours suggested that Real Madrid might withdraw from the final, but circumstances changed as they eventually confirmed their participation. It remains to be seen if this affects the players’ psychological preparation, especially considering their disastrous campaign in the 2024-25 season. They suffered a 4-0 defeat to Barcelona in La Liga and were thrashed 5-2 in the SuperCopa final.
The Catalan club, meanwhile, will be without their star forward, Robert Lewandowski. The Polish striker has been sidelined due to a muscle injury, but the positive news for them is that Ferran Torres has regained full fitness and will be available for the clash against Madrid. However, they will also miss left-back Balde, which is a substantial setback for Hansi Flick’s team. On the other hand, Kylian Mbappe might not be in the starting lineup for Madrid, and Eduardo Camavinga has been ruled out for the remainder of the season.
