FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Copa del Rey 2024-25 Final

The El Clasico lines up to decide the Champions of the Copa del Rey

The final of the Copa del Rey 2024-25 takes us to the Estadio La Cartuja in Sevilla, where Real Madrid CF are scheduled to lock horns against FC Barcelona.

FC Barcelona are inching closer to completing a treble as they are in a prime position to win the UEFA Champions League, La Liga and Copa del Rey. Their pursuit of winning the first silverware can come true if they can get the better of their arch-rivals in the upcoming match.

They are coming after edging past Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey with an aggregate of 5-4. They recently knocked out reigning UCL Finalists, Borussia Dortmund, to make it to the semi-finals after a long wait. They will be keen to put in their blood, sweat and tears in the upcoming ninety minutes to clinch the Copa del Rey.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, would be disappointed after miserably suffering two heavy defeats against the North London-based outfit. A win in the next game could at least salvage some pride for Los Blancos. After a 4-4 draw in the second leg, Real Madrid narrowly made it to the Finals of the Copa del Rey after getting the better of Real Sociedad in the semifinals.

Despite all odds in favour of the Catalonia-based outfit, Madrid would be keen to put up an upset. Despite a challenging campaign so far, Ancelotti’s men have got, all it takes to topple any side. It would be interesting to see if Madrid can steal the spotlight or if it will be Flick’s side who will continue their dominance.

Players to Watch

Dani Olmo (FC Barcelona)

Dani Olmo’s inclusion in Hansi Flick’s side has brought a renewed sense of enthusiasm to the squad. The 26-year-old Spanish winger from Terrassa has had a year worth remembering for ages. From playing a crucial role in Spain’s triumph in the UEFA Euro 2024 to propelling Barca into the UCL semi-finals, Olmo is enjoying the time of his life.

He has so far made 20 appearances and scored 9 goals for the Culers. A product of the Espanyol and Barca youth academy, Olmo joined Dinamo Zagreb in 2014 before playing his trade in the German top division with RB Leipzig.

Antonio Rudiger (Real Madrid):

The 32-year-old veteran German defender, hailing from Berlin, has made his mark in international football after his extraordinary stint at Stamford Bridge. After rendering his services to the Blues for almost half a decade, he joined Real Madrid in 2022.

That was not good enough from all of us over two legs. Very frustrating result in the end. We need to level up for the next games. Thanks to all Madridistas in and around the Bernabeu for yesterday's great support! 🤍 #Hustle #AlwaysBelieve #alhamdulillah pic.twitter.com/p9szwuyeXx

— Antonio Rüdiger (@ToniRuediger) April 17, 2025

Since then, he has made 95 appearances for the Los Blancos and also netted 2 goals. His physical strength and no-nonsense defending will be key as Madrid would need to establish an impenetrable defence to get rid of the attacking threats from Hansi Flick’s side.
