What happened the last time Barcelona faced Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final? | OneFootball

The next edition of the biggest rivalry in Spanish football was officially pencilled in on Wednesday night.

This comes after Barcelona booked their spot in the finale of the Copa del Rey.

Hansi Flick’s troops made the trip to Spain’s capital a short time ago, for the 2nd leg of a Copa semi-final showdown with Diego Simeone’s Atlético.

When all was said and done, a solitary strike on the part of Ferran Torres proved enough to guide the Blaugrana to a 1-0 triumph on the evening, and 5-4 victory on aggregate.

With Real Madrid having sent Real Sociedad packing by the same scoreline on Tuesday, fans are therefore set to be treated to another Clásico face-off with silverware on the line.

So, what happened the last time on which Barcelona and Real Madrid locked horns in the Copa del Rey finale?

As much came back in 2014, and saw the latter ultimately secure glory, by way of a 2-1 win.

After Ángel Di María’s early opener was cancelled out by Marc Bartra, Gareth Bale notched what proved to be the game’s decisive goal, courtesy of that blistering run down the left.
