It’s another classic encounter that viewers will be tuning into this evening during the Copa del Rey final. Real Madrid is set to face its eternal rival, FC Barcelona, in the finale.
FC Barcelona, experiencing recent setbacks including elimination from the Champions League quarter-finals and a defeat in La Liga against the underperforming Granada, is facing a challenging period. Concerns arise from offensive inefficiency, as well as the performance level of key players like Iniesta and Messi. However, Messi and his teammates are unlikely to approach this match lightly.
Despite the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, who remains sidelined due to injury, Real Madrid secured their third consecutive victory against Almeria on Saturday (4-0). Players like Isco or Di Maria are expected to step up, and Sergio Ramos is set to return to bolster the Merengue defense.
