FC Barcelona has already humiliated Real Madrid twice this season by beating them twice, with a scoreline of 4-0 in La Liga and 5-2 in the Spanish Super Cup. The predictions for the Copa del Rey 2025 Final can shift a little towards FC Barcelona, but you can’t rule out Real Madrid in the finals. Estadio Olímpico de Sevilla will host the final on 26th April.
This is the eighth El Clásico in the Copa del Rey final. Real Madrid has won four (1936, 1974, 2011, and 2014), whereas FC Barcelona has won three (1968, 1983, and 1990). Last time, we saw an iconic Gareth Bale goal, which sealed the victory for Real Madrid.
The most successful team in the history of the Copa del Rey is FC Barcelona, having won the competition 31 times. Real Madrid ranked third as they won it 20 times. Athletic Club has won it 24 times and also won it last season.
