What TV channel is Barcelona v Real Madrid? How to watch Copa del Rey final in the UK
Spanish cup final TV and live stream details
Armchair football fans are in for a treat on Saturday evening when Barcelona and Real Madrid meet in the final of the Copa del Rey.
It is the first time the El Clasico rivals have squared off in the final of Spain’s premier cup competition since 2014 when Gareth Bale’s late strike seal a 2-1 win for Real.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men go into this year’s final in Seville seeking to salvage an underwhelming campaign.
Real are four points adrift of Barcelona in La Liga with five games to go and were last week knocked out of the Champions League by Arsenal.
Barca have won the two previous meetings between the clubs this campaign – 4-0 at Santiago Bernabeu and 5-2 in the Spanish Super Cup final in Saudi Arabia.
The build-up to the final has been shrouded in controversary after Real suggested referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea and VAR Pablo Gonzalez Fuertes should be removed from duty due to “unacceptable” comments made by the match officials.
Bilbao-born De Burgos Bengoetxea cried in front of the media as he revealed the pressure Real’s television channel has put referees under. The 39-year-old is the latest in a line of officials to be criticised on Real Madrid TV this season.
