Copa Del Rey Final: Barcelona Vs Athletic Club Today At 8:00PM by kentozybee(m): 2:09pm On May 30, 2015 |
It's Happening Today, Barca Aiming To Win Their Second Trophy This Season After Clinching The League Title Last Week The two most successful clubs in Copa del Rey history, FC Barcelona (26 titles) and Athletic Biblao (23 titles) will once again battle it out for the Spanish Cup. The two sides last met in the Copa del Rey on May 25 2012, when they also faced off in the Final, with Barcelona coming out victorious by a score of 3-0. Coincidentally, that was the last Copa trophy Barcelona won. Athletic's last Cup win came in 1984 when in a close 1-0 final they edged out, wouldn't you know it, Barcelona. Since then the Basques reached the final three times, twice losing to Barcelona and once to Atletico Madrid. According to experts (and non-experts) the favorite to win the trophy, and complete the domestic double, is clear - Barcelona. As they shouldn't, Barcelona aren't taken the game lightly and preparations were in full swing the entire week so the team should be ready and motivated to secure the second title in the quest for an unprecedented second club treble. Athletic didn't take a page out of Bayern Munich's book of pregame smack talk and decided to embrace the role of the underdog. Striker Aritz Aduriz even went on to say that this Barcelona is one of the best teams in history. He continued that Athletic's biggest strength is team spirit. Athletic are a team that can't really look back at the 2014-15 season with a whole lot of pride. They finished the season a full 15 points less than in the last campaign, in which they took part in the UEFA Champions League, but stumbled to seventh in the standings this season, and the Copa del Rey title would take some of the sting out of a disappointing campaign. The game will be played at the Camp Nou, with Barcelona being the away team. The decision to play the Final in Barcelona's home stadium surprised many, but because the Santiago Bernabeu was made unavailable and the remaining big stadiums in Spain already had events already planed on May 30 or were deemed unfeasible by the federation only two options remained: the gorgeous (Nuevo ) San Mamés or the enormous Camp Nou. Because of its size the two clubs agreed that the venue should be Camp Nou. Because Athletic are the older team they were named the home te LIKELY LINE-UPS Barcelona (4-3-3): ter Stegen; Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Alba; Busquets, Iniesta, Rakitić; Messi, Suarez, Neymar Athletic (4-2-3-1): Herrerin; Iraola, Laporte, Etxeita, Balenziaga; San Jose, Iturraspe; Susaeta, Rico, Williams; Aduriz MATCH PREDICTION Athletic still have a lot to prove this season, both to themselves and to Barcelona (considering they lost both La Liga games), but a scenario in which they will be able to contain the firepower Barcelona bring to the table is difficult to imagine. My prediction is therefore that Barcelona will complete the domestic double with a 1-3 "away" win at the Camp Nou. |
