The road to the title: the finalists
FC Barcelona arrives at this event with the intention of reaffirming its hegemony in national soccer. Their opponent will come out of Thursday’s Madrid derby, a clash loaded with history and unfinished business.
While Simeone’s Atlético de Madrid is looking to recover its best version after the recent draw in Anoeta, Real Madrid will try to overcome the absence of its offensive reference, Kylian Mbappé, to get into another final under the leadership of Xabi Alonso.
The winner of Thursday’s game will not only win the pass, but will also have the boost of having beaten their eternal rivals to face the Azulgrana team on Sunday.
