Barcelona and Real Madrid meet in an El Clasico-themed Copa del Rey final tonight.

With both sides currently embroiled in a fascinating LaLiga title race, this is the first of two decisive meetings between the bitter rivals in the space of a fortnight.

Hansi Flick has the edge over Carlo Ancelotti in the head-to-head battle having won both games this season, including a 5-2 win at the start of the year to clinch the Spanish Super Cup.

Speaking of Ancelotti, there have been reports that he will leave the Real Madrid immediately following the final. However, the Italian has since denied such speculation.

Barca are without Robert Lewandowski due to injury but can call upon the competition's joint-leading scorer in Ferran Torres to lead the line.

Meanwhile, Real have been boosted by the inclusion of Kylian Mbappe in the squad. The Frenchman hasn't played since limping off against Arsenal last week, but is raring to go as he eyes a second trophy in Madrid colours.

So, will Barcelona - the most successful team in the competition’s history - emerge victorious once again and complete the first part of a potential treble?

Or will it be a repeat of the 2014 El Clasico Copa del Rey final when Gareth Bale scored a memorable goal in five minutes from time to crown Los Blancos as champions?
