Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao are stalwarts in the Copa del Rey, having played each other in three finals in the last twelve years, including a chess match between football masterminds Pep Guardiola and Marcelo Bielsa in 2012.
This year’s trophy is no consolation prize.
It’s Barcelona’s best chance at a title, and Athletic will be looking to avenge their loss to Real Sociedad in last year’s final that was played two weeks ago.
