Barcelona and Real Madrid will face in the Copa del Rey final. Barcelona are the most successful side in the competition and they are looking for their 32nd trophy, while Real Madrid have lifted the trophy 20 times. This is a big derby, not only in Spain. Their rivalry is regarded as one of the biggest on the planet. Madrid and Barcelona are Spain's largest cities and they are sometimes identified with opposing political positions. Real Madrid are viewed as representing Spanish nationalism and Barcelona viewed as representing Catalan nationalism. The two clubs are among the richest and most successful football clubs in the World; in 2014 Forbes ranked them the World's two most valuable sports teams. Lionel Messi is the leading all time goal scorer in El Clasico with 26 goals, Alfredo Di Stefano has 18, while Cristiano Ronaldo 17.

Now about the match. Barcelona have eliminated Barbastro, Betis, Valencia and Atletico Madrid on their way to the final. The Blaugrana are also first in La Liga and they are successful in the Champions League where secured a quarterfinal. The German coach Hansi Flick is doing a fantastic job in his first campaign at the helm and the fans are pleased. The atmosphere in the club is just perfect, while the players confidence is high. However, some of them are unavailable for this match. The leading goalscorer Robert Lewandowski is sidelined with a hamstring injury and that's a big handicap. Alejandro Balde is highly doubtful with a hamstring injury, while Marc Casado, Marc Bernal and Marc-Andre ter Stegen are also out injured. Finally, Ronald Araujo and Dani Olmo are rated as doubtful.

This is a bad moment for Real Madrid. They were eliminated from the Champions League after lost twice to Arsenal. Real lost 3:0 in London, but also suffered a 2:1 defeat in Madrid. Los Blancos are four points adrift of leaders Barcelona in La Liga and it seems only a miracle could prevent Barca to finish first. Carlo Ancelotti is desperate to win something, but it will be difficult. According to some pundits, the Italian coach will leave Madrid at the end of the season. The poor form isn't the only problem for Ancelotti. Eduardo Camavinga and David Alaba have both suffered muscular injuries against Getafe on Wednesday night and they will not play in the cup final. Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao remain out due to long-term knee injuries. Ferland Mendy and Kylian Mbappe are rated as doubtful, though they could be available for selection.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid Prediction:

I think Barcelona will celebrate The momentum are on their side and the players confidence is very high. On contrary, Real players are in very complicated situation. They were eliminated from the Champions League after losing twice to Arsenal. The H2H is on Barcelona side. They will be looking to beat Real Madrid for the third time this season, having already recorded an impressive 4:0 victory when the two teams locked horns at Santiago Bernabeu back in October and 5:2 win in Supercup in January in Saudi Arabia. Lewandowski is out injured, but Flick still has players able to make a difference. Lamine Yamal looks unstoppable this season. Barcelona should lift the Copa del Rey trophy for the 32nd time in their history.
