Barcelona vs Real Madrid

Barcelona can take the first step towards a potential treble when they face Real Madrid in the Spanish Copa del Rey final.

Los Blancos seem to be heading towards a disappointing end to the season and the Copa del Rey could be their only chance for silverware this term. However, the Catalans are brimming with confidence at the moment and having constantly gotten the better of their rivals this season, should win the final on Saturday.

Barcelona Form

Barcelona claimed a 5-4 aggregate victory over Atletico Madrid to book their place in the final. It is shaping up to be a special season for Hansi Flick's men, who remain on course for the treble as they have a UEFA Champions League semi-final coming up while also sitting four points clear at the top of La Liga.

2025 has been an impressive year for Barcelona, who have only lost once across all competitions so far. The Catalans will head into Saturday’s clash with four wins from their last five matches, earning a 1-0 La Liga home victory over Mallorca in midweek.

Barcelona boast the most prolific attack in Spain, with 151 goals across all competitions this season, while also opening the scoring in eight of their last nine matches. They often adopt an open style of play which has seen four of their last five Copa del Rey matches produce over 2.5 goals.

Real Madrid Form

Real Madrid also needed a 5-4 aggregate victory to reach the Copa del Rey final as they overcame Real Sociedad in the last four. However, they will head into Saturday’s final in erratic form having picked up three wins and as many defeats in their last seven matches across all competitions.

The last few weeks have been difficult for Real Madrid, who crashed out in the quarter-final of the Champions League and sit four points off the pace in the La Liga table. There is also the uncertainty surrounding manager Carlo Ancelotti’s future but they will head into the final off the back of a 1-0 victory at Getafe in a midweek La Liga fixture.

Real Madrid rested players at Getafe and the likes of Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo are set to return to the starting line-ups. All four men are part of an attack that has ensured four of their last five Copa del Rey matches have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

While it is usually closely fought between both teams, Barcelona seem to have Real Madrid's number this season, beating them twice already so far. The Catalans claimed a 4-0 away win in La Liga before a 5-2 victory in the Spanish Super Cup final.

Verdict

Barcelona v Real Madrid

Barcelona have already beaten Real Madrid in a final this season, with a 5-2 victory in the Spanish Super Cup among their wins over Los Blancos this term. The Catalans look confident heading into this clash and should win Saturday’s final.

The last nine matches between both teams have produced over 2.5 goals and this clash should offer up a similar outcome here. Barcelona could also be backed to score first having grabbed the opening goal in five of the last seven meetings.
