Few people could predict how impressive Barcelona will be this season under the guidance of Hans Flik, because the German expects to bring the team up to four trophies in his first campaign near the helm, which would be a truly landmark.
Earlier this year, Barcelona won the Spanish Super Bowl, beating Real (5: 2) in the finals, and is now leading in the race for the title of La League, ahead of the “cream” four points for the remaining five rounds.
The Catalan team also reached the Champions League semifinals and is preparing for a two -match duel with the Milan intere. This Saturday “Blaugranas” has a chance to win the second trophy of the season.
Barcelona will come to the match after the victory over Mallorca (1: 0) in La Lagiga, and since December the Catalans did not lose in internal matches, which clearly showed the call for Real Madrid, but the last two Finals of Spain have won the Los Blancos.
In fact, Real won (2: 1) in 2014 and (1: 0) in 2011, and the last victory of Barcelona over its irreconcilable rivals in the finals took place in 1990 (2-0). Barcelona is the most successful team in the history of the Cup that won this trophy 31 times – the last victory was in the 2020/21 season.
This season Barcelona will try to beat Real for the third time, which will be another painful blow to the royal club.
Real will come to this match after the victory over Hatfe (1: 0) in the championship. This season, “creamy” already have a trophy in their pockets: in August they won the UEFA Super Cup, and in mid -June they will have to take part in the world championship, which will be held in a new format.
It is impossible to bypass the fact that the departure of Real Madrid from the Champions League has become a great disappointment for the team: in the quarterfinals, Carlo Ancholotti team has been defeated by Arsenal, and since then there has been many assumptions about the future Italian on Bernabeu.
Anchlotti is expected to leave Real this summer, and the favorite in his place is Habi Alonso from Bayer, so that “Los Blancos” seems to be ready to join a new era, but at the same time you need to divorce beautifully and preferably with the trophy.
The Spanish Cup has never been considered a priority for Real, but now this tournament is incredibly important, and there is good reason to believe that on Saturday the main pressure will be on the shoulders of “creamy” players.
Real won four of the seven final of the Barcelona Cup, and the last cup meeting between the two teams ended with the victory of Madrid (4: 0) – it was the semi -finals of the tournament in 2023.
