Barcelona vs Athletic Bilbao lineups, live online & TV listings - 2015 Copa del Rey Final

Barcelona against Athletic Bilbao will face each other to see who gets one more Copa del Rey trophy added to their cabinet. Barcelona has 26 and Athletic has 23, they both lead the list of the teams with the most wins of the competition. Camp Nou will be the battlefield, but Athletic will be the home team in enemy territory. 

Barcelona is aiming for the treble in the first season of Luis Enrique as their coach and the last one of Xavi Herandez as a Cule player. The Spanish manager faced a lot of criticism early in the season, but whatever happens in the Catalan locker room, it is working and their mojo is hard to break. 

The biggest mystery in the last days was knowing if Luis Suarez would be fit for this game and it seems he has recovered from a hamstring injury that sidelined him in the last games of the season. The Uruguayan striker scored 16 goals in 27 games during la Liga, including the one with wich Barca beat Real Madrid early in the year.

If you are talking about Barcelona, you are talking about Lionel Messi. La Pulga scored the goal that gave his team another domestic league title in the game against Atletico Madrid. Despite being a goal-scoring machine in La Liga, he struggles to score in the Spanish Cup. In five games played, Messi only scored three times.

The games was supposed to be played in the Santiago Bernabeu as a neutral ground. Los Colchoneros have AC/DC concert scheduled the same night. The two teams involved could not decide on where to take this game to so the Spanish Football Federation decided that Barcelona was the right place to have this game. 

Bilbao has expressed that they don't fear Los Cules, even if they have to play them at their own stadium. The team that finished seventh in La Liga is clearly the underdog coming into this match. The team managed by Ernesto Valverde just earned their right to be in next year's Europa League.

They also don't seem intimidated by big teams. It was them who beat Real Madrid (1-0) in Marcha and really gave Barcelona a chance to take over La Liga this past season. Last time Barca and Bilbao met, Lucho's team won 5-2. Athletic wants to show they deserve to be where they are despite a season that did not end as they expected. Last year they ended with 15 more points than the ones they gathered this year.

Oscar de Marcos will be missing all the action at Camp Nou with a suspension. His versatility is something that Valverde may find hard to replace. Valverde will wait until the last minute to see who he starts with. His decisions have not followed any kind of pattern during the season. They are really unpredictable team right from the start. Adrian Aduriz is usually the only one that can be certain to be a starter.

The stage is set for Bilbao to ruin Barcelona's party and plans for a treble. Can their pride and will for success do more than Barcelona's impressive talent?
