Match Preview before ATH vs BAR Copa del Rey final live

Athletic Bilbao will be playing in their second Copa Del Rey final within a month as they played the 2020 final against Real Sociedad in the first week of April 2021 as the clash was rearranged amid the coronavirus outbreak. After losing the 2020 Copa Del Rey final by a narrow 0-1 margin against Real Sociedad, the Basque outfit now have another chance to win the trophy on Saturday. They will be aiming to make the most of the opportunity and lift the title for the 24th time in their history. But they face tough competition in the form of FC Barcelona. 

FC Barcelona, on the other hand, will head into the match with the urge to bounce back on the winning ways as Ronald Koeman's team suffered from a narrow 1-2 loss to Real Madrid in the El Clasico last weekend. With the Catalan outfit knocked out of the Champions League, they find themselves currently fighting for two trophies this season. The 30-time Copa Del Rey winners will be eager to pick up some silverware this season as they prepare to lock horns in the CDR final on Saturday.
