FC Barcelona has classified
for the Spanish Cup Final, after knocking out Real Sociedad.
On April
19th , Tata Martino's team will try to win their 27th Spanish Cup
Final in the history of the Club and reaffirm themselves, even more, as the
team that has dominated this competition.
Barça will play their 37th
Final against Real Madrid.
Barça will go into their fourth final in the last six years. In the 2008/09 season, they became Champions against Athletic Club Bilbao in Mestalla (1-4), in 2010/11 they lost to Real Madrid, in extra time (1-0) and in 2011/12 they repeated their triumph over Bilbao at the Vicente Calderón (3-0).
In these last six years they only failed to reach the Cup Final in 2010, when Sevilla knocked them out in the last 16 round, and last season, when they lost to Real Madrid in the semi.final.
So, Barça once again will
face Real Madrid, two years after the last Cup Final played against each other.
In the six Barça vs Madrid finals, each team have won 3 times.
The first
Clasico in a Cup Final goes back to the 1935/36 season,
and the latest, the 2010/11 season. Curiously, both Finals
were played in Valencia. On April 19th, the equality will be broken. More about FC barcelona spring camps in Canada.
