20:30pm Kick Off
The 2021 Copa Del Rey final kicks off shortly, between FC Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao. A swift rematch of the Supercopa final which was contested in January, Bilbao the victors on that occasion.
Barca manager Ronald Koeman will not only be desperate to bounce back from last weekend’s damaging defeat to Real Madrid; this is a chance for him to lift the Copa Del Rey as Barca manager which would be a dream come true for the Dutchman.
Interestingly, Bilbao have a manager in Marcelino who knows all about beating Barca in a Copa Del Rey Final. In 2019 Marcelino’s Valencia side overcame the Catalans to take the trophy. Both managers are looking to secure their second ever Copa Del Rey tonight with Koeman winning it in 2008 with (them again) Valencia.
Teams
Bilbao:
Simon, Balenziaga, Martinez, Yeray, De Marcos, Munain, Lopez, Garcia, Berenguer, Garcia, Williams
Barcelona:
Ter Stegen, Dest, Pique, Mingueza, Lenglet, Alba, Pedri, De Jong, Busquets, Griezmann, Messi,

Messi by the far the best player I have ever had the privilege of seeing in the flesh.

Same here mate seen him about 6 times and also seen him bag 3 in 2019.
It looks like he doesn’t need to think or even try.

I got to watch Barca in two friendlies v Dundee United a fair few years back.
Got to see so many amazing players but Messi was just unreal.

Wish I'd seen him play. Maybe Argentina will organise a friendly against Northern Ireland before he calls it a day... Maybe not. I did see Cristiano score a hattrick against us once
