Why fans are ready to boo Spain’s national anthem before Saturday’s Copa del Rey final
This was the Copa del Rey everyone thought they could win.
In the end, though, we’ve ended up with a final between the
competition’s two most successful teams. Only Barcelona (26) has lifted
the trophy more times than Athletic Club be Bilbao (23). The two sides
have previously met in the final on seven occasions, and on Saturday
they will face off at the final hurdle for the third time since 2009.
