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.
