Here is everything you need to know about the Blaugrana's unrivaled history in the 112-year-old cup competition.

Saturday, May the 30th, is the date for Barcelona’s much anticipated Copa del Rey final showdown. The Blaugrana, who won La Liga title and await their Champions League final tie, will lock horns with Athletic Bilbao for the prestigious cup.

Camp Nou will be the venue for the weekend match, handing the Catalan giants the advantage of playing on home ground, as they look to triumph over the club from Basque country and win a record-breaking 27th title.

No side has been more successful in the Copa del Rey than Barcelona. In the competition’s 112 year history, Barcelona have lifted the trophy an astonishing 26 times. Real Madrid have only won the cup 19 times. The closest to Los Cules is their opponents on Saturday, who are only three titles short of the Blaugrana’s tally, with 23 titles to their name.

Barcelona, Copa del Rey 2012, Copa del Rey

Barcelona have always been an ever present, dominant side in the Copa del Rey. In the last 6 finals, the club have featured in four finals. However, only two of those encounters have seen them come out as champions, whilst losing the other two in extra time, both to rivals Los Blancos.

Ironically, Barcelona’s last two Copa del Rey success came at the expense of Athletic Bilbao, beating them twice in the 2012 and 2009 finals, thrashing Los Leones 3-0 and 4-1 in both occasions.

Luis Enrique’s crew also boasts a wonderful track record against Ernesto Valvarde’s side, winning 10 games at Camp Nou in 16 La Liga match-ups. Furthermore, the four-time Champions League winners have Lionel Messi on their side, a player who has torn into the Basque club since the Argentine’s debut.

Of course, let’s not forget this is trophy number 2 on path to a groud-breaking treble.
