The battle between Barcelona and Real Madrid in the 2024/25 season promises to bring breathtaking developments. |
In the early morning of April 3, Ferran Torres became the hero when he scored the only goal to help Barcelona beat Atletico Madrid 1-0 in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final. Before that, the two teams had a dramatic 4-4 draw in the first leg. This victory brought coach Hansi Flick and his team to the final, where they will face rivals Real Madrid.
Waiting for the great war
This is the first time in 11 years that the two giants of Spanish football will reunite in a match that will decide the King's Cup title. The final is scheduled to take place on April 26 in Seville, promising to bring a top-notch confrontation between the two biggest forces in La Liga.
Two weeks later, Barcelona and Real Madrid will play another "El Clasico" in Catalonia on May 11, as part of La Liga round 35. If nothing unexpected happens, it will also be another "final" between the two teams, as Barcelona and Real Madrid are competing fiercely on the La Liga rankings.
After 29 rounds in La Liga, Barcelona is 3 points ahead of Real Madrid, and if both maintain their current form, the "El Clasico" match in round 35 of La Liga will be the place to decide the throne.
The tension between the two teams has already begun, with AS quoting a message from the Real Madrid dressing room, showing both confidence and anxiety. A Real Madrid insider revealed: “If we play aggressively in the first 60 minutes, the title will belong to Real Madrid.”
This statement reflects the determination, but also seems to reveal the fear of "Los Blancos", the team that wants to end Barcelona's dominance in El Clasico matches in the past six months.
Statistics show that in the last 10 El Clasico matches between the two teams, Barcelona won 5 and lost 5, a balanced ratio. However, this season, Barcelona haunted Real Madrid with two big wins of 4-0 and 5-2 in the Spanish Super Cup and the first leg of La Liga.
Even though before that, Real Madrid had a series of 4 consecutive victories against Barcelona since 2023. However, the appearance of coach Hansi Flick turned everything upside down. Under the German coach, Barcelona played extremely well in big matches. They caused an obsession for any big team, from Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid to Real.
Champions League Focus
The 2024/25 season will see fierce competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid, not only in the Copa del Rey but also on many other fronts. These two teams could end the season by facing each other up to 5 times in different tournaments, from La Liga (twice), Spanish Super Cup, to Copa del Rey and Champions League.
Barcelona are having an extremely successful season. |
The prospect of Barcelona and Real Madrid meeting in the Champions League final has also been a hot topic of discussion. They are drawn in different brackets and can only meet in the Champions League final.
Barcelona and Real Madrid both have big ambitions in Europe. Barcelona, with the brilliance of Yamal and key players like Robert Lewandowski, are looking to restore their former status. They play top-class football, reminiscent of the golden age under Pep Guardiola.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid, with their vast experience and bravery in big matches, are always the top candidates for the continental throne. Young stars like Mbappe, Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham always know how to shine.
The Copa del Rey final in Seville at the end of April is not only a chance for one of the two teams to lift the first trophy of the season, but also the start of a fierce rivalry ahead. The history of the two clubs' confrontations is always full of drama and unforgettable moments.
The last time these two sides met in the Copa del Rey final in 2014, Real Madrid won 2-1 thanks to a classic Gareth Bale sprint. Now, with a new generation of players and two talented coaches - Barcelona's Hansi Flick and Real Madrid's Carlo Ancelotti - fans are expecting an equally entertaining game.
Will Barcelona continue their winning streak or will Real Madrid assert their dominance? Whatever the outcome, the upcoming matches will undoubtedly define this season and write a memorable chapter in Spanish football history.
