Although all the major leagues have been finalized, there is still the small matter of Copa del Rey in Spain. It will be played on Friday hosting Athletic Bilbao v Barcelona. Both the sides have the keen urge to lift this trophy as they have their own perspectives; Bilbao due to the missing out on Europa League and Barcelona because of it being the last game in Pep Guardiola’s leadership of the Catalans.
This competition has been third on the priority list for the Spain’s biggest two rivalries, Real Madrid and Barcelona coming after La Liga and Champions League. Most importantly, now that the Euro Cup is on its way in just a week from the first friendly kick-off, it will be very intriguing to guess what the strategy for both the sides will be as players will be wanting to support their team in the Euro Cup or will they have their full focus on the Copa del Rey.
However, even more interestingly, Bilbao and Barcelona are the major trophy lifters for this League.
