The Clásico Between Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Copa del Rey Final Is Already a Reality. According to Juanma Castaño, this duel may be just the beginning of something bigger.

The journalist from COPE analyzes the possibility of both teams facing each other in three decisive matches. Copa del Rey, a Key Duel in LaLiga, and a Hypothetical Champions League Final. For Castaño, this would be "historic."

"We may be facing an unrepeatable year with three finals between Champions and Copa del Rey. The one in LaLiga isn't, but almost..." he commented on El Partidazo.

A Legendary Rivalry

The Clásico always has excitement, but this season it could reach another level. The Copa final will be the first round. It's the eighth time they face each other at this stage.

The history of the tournament leaves unforgettable memories. In 1974, Madrid defeated Barça 4-0 in a rematch after the famous 0-5 in the league. Barcelona has also experienced glorious nights, like in 1983 and 1990, with players like Maradona and Cruyff.

Copa, League, and Champions at Stake

With the Copa final secured, the other competitions add even more excitement. LaLiga remains very tight, and the Clásico on May 11 could decide the title.

David Sánchez, also on COPE, opined: "A final in Europe would be unbelievable. The atmosphere, the tension... it would be something unforgettable."

Miguel Rico, a journalist from the network, highlighted the uncertainty. "We already have a final. But the Champions is still open," he noted.

Real Madrid seeks their 21st Copa, while Barcelona aims for their 31st title in the tournament. Both teams arrive with different dynamics. Madrid wants stability after some ups and downs. Barça, with Hansi Flick, has found their best version.
