Barcelona vs Real Madrid Match Preview
FC Barcelona arrive in the final playing with clarity and confidence. Their semifinal dismantling of Athletic Bilbao ended 5-0, a result that reflected dominance rather than efficiency alone. The Blaugrana have now won five straight matches without conceding, scoring at least twice in every game during that run.
Los Blancos edged past capital rivals Atletico Madrid courtesy of a 2-1 success, with that match coming 24 hours after the Blaugrana’s 5-0 win over Athletic Bilbao.
Real Madrid also come into the final on a five-match winning run, highlighted by a 2-1 semifinal win over Atletico Madrid. That victory showed resilience and game management, particularly when forced to defend deeper late on.
Los Blancos are without star forward Kylian Mbappe due to injury and that is a big blow for the Madrid giants. Mbappe has 29 goals this season across all competitions and no other Real player has reached double figures, so a Barcelona win looks the best bet.
