After knocking out Atlético de Madrid and Real Sociedad in the semi-finals, the two teams will compete for the cup title for the first time since 2014. In their last meeting in the final, Ángel Di María and Gareth Bale scored for Real Madrid, securing a 2-1 victory.

The two teams have faced each other twice this term, with FC Barcelona winning 5-2 in the Spanish Super Cup and Real Madrid winning 4-0 in a league match at the Bernabéu. Their next match will be on May 11th, at the Estadi Olímpic, which is expected to be a decisive encounter in the LALIGA EA SPORTS title race.

This weekend's match is not only a chance for one of the teams to win the Copa del Rey, but also to gain momentum ahead of the final stretch of the season. If Real Madrid wins, they will gain confidence in their bid to secure the fifth domestic double in their history. On the other hand, FC Barcelona will have the opportunity to achieve the domestic double for the ninth time.

FC Barcelona is also in the running for their third-ever treble, with the UEFA Champions League semi-finals against Inter just around the corner. The Copa del Rey final will be a significant milestone in the final stretch of the 2024/25 season, as FC Barcelona and Real Madrid face off for the third time this term.
