- *** PREVIEW ***
- Either Athletic Bilbao nor Barcelona had no title this season.
- Athletic Bilbao lose to Atletico Madrid 0-3 on Final UEFA Europa League at Arena Națională (București, Romania).
- FC Barcelona also lose to FC Chelsea on semi finals UEFA Champions League at Camp Nou (Barcelona) on aggregate 2-3.
- Athletic Bilbao have Fernando Llorente as their top scorer, already scoring 16 goals from his 32 appereances this season while on Barcelona side, they have Lionel Messi as their goal machine, scoring 50 goals from 37 appereances this season, fantastic record from the young boy.
- Copa del Rey is their last chance to get a single trophy this season, because Primera Division tittle belong to Real Madrid.
- Athletic Bilbao already got this trophy for 22 times when FC Barcelona got this tittle for 25 times. Last time both teams met on Copa del Rey Final was on May 14th, 2009, and Barcelona became the winner on score 4-1. The goals came from Yaya Toure, Lionel Messi, Bojan Kirk, and Xavi, Barcelona players, and a single goal from Bilbao came from Toquero.
- *** PREDICTION ***
- Both teams adhere the pattern of attacking football, and motivation to get as fast as a score and to get the last chance to get tittle, each team would play an open game to produce as many as goals they could to secure a winning and 3 goals netted will get a high possibility on this match later.
- Barcelona has a strong desire to grab this tittle after they failed to defend their tittle in league and got knock out on semi-final, but Athletic Bilbao will not give up easly although their recent performace not promising, but Bilbao must prepare their self by a high motivation because ironicly for Athletic Bilbao, last time they got a tittle was at 1985 on Super Cup.
- Athetic Bilbao vs Barcelona last 11 games history
- PS :
- For me on this case (match), most of Cup specially Final match, history decide, even though not for all game.
