• Kickoff: 21:00 UK / 22:00 CEST

Barcelona and Real Madrid together have won 51 Copa del Rey titles. Will Barca lift the trophy for the 32nd time or Real Madrid for the 21st? The answer will come after another spectacle between the two most popular Spanish teams. 

Barcelona have an excellent season. Besides the chance of winning the cup title on Saturday, Hansi Flick's team is close to winning La Liga, while in the Champions League, they have advanced to the semifinals. It seemed that Barcelona had slowed down lately, but they still won four of the last five matches. In the previous game, Flick's team won 1-0 at home against Mallorca. The home side finished the match with a fantastic xG of 3.41, while the guests had only 0.25, so only inefficiency cost Barca to win with a more significant margin. 

Real Madrid started the 2024/25 season with the title in the UEFA Super Cup, but if they lose the Copa del Rey final, that could be their only addition to silverware this year. In La Liga, Carlo Ancelotti's team is four points behind Barcelona, while in the Champions League, they lost in the previous round. Real Madrid won only three of the last seven matches. In the previous game, they won 1-0 on the road against Getafe. Surprisingly, Getafe, with significantly higher xG, and Real Madrid could be very happy with taking all three points. 

Barcelona vs Real Madrid pick: Barcelona to win

Barcelona and Real Madrid already had two h2h matches this season, and Barca won them both. In La Liga, Hansi Flick's team won 4-0 in Madrid, while in the Super Cup in Saudi Arabia, Barcelona won 5-2. We should expect another spectacular victory for Flick's team on Saturday night.
