FC Barcelona reach 42nd Copa del Rey final!

Next stop: the Copa del Rey final. The ride has not been an easy one but Ronald Koeman's team have made it after their stunning comeback over Sevilla in the semi final. They will now face either Athletic Club or Levante in final number 42 for the blaugranes. 

If anyone was capable of turning around a 2-0 deficit from the first leg it was Cup experts Barça. Goals from Dembélé, Piqué and Braithwaite turned the tie around and gave the blaugranes a 3-2 aggregate win after extra time. The next date in the Copa del Rey diary is 17 April, the final.

Cornellà 0 - Barça 2; Rayo Vallecano 1 - Barça 2; Granada 3 - Barça 5; Sevilla 2 - Barça 0, and Barça 3 - Sevilla 0. 12 goals and a place in the Copa del Rey final 2020/21.

The win against Sevilla hands Barça a 42nd appearance in the Copa del Rey final, a record in itself with Real Madrid next on the list on 39 appearances. 

Barça have met Athletic on eight occasions in the final but never against Levante as the club from Valencia are yet to reach the cup final in their history. 

The 2021 Copa del Rey final has one name confirmed, that of Ronald Koeman's Barça, a man who knows all about winning the Copa del Rey.
