The highly anticipated Copa del Rey final between Real Madrid and Barcelona will take place this Saturday at the Olympic Stadium in Seville. It’s a high-stakes clash between Spain’s two giants. While both teams have reached the Champions League semifinals, Barcelona are eyeing a historic treble. Meanwhile, Madrid are counting on the Copa and La Liga to salvage their season.

For this Clásico, Barça boss Hansi Flick has named his squad. Several key players are absent, including Robert Lewandowski—injured last weekend against Celta Vigo—and Alejandro Baldé, who is ruled out of the match. However, there’s good news as Marc-André ter Stegen makes his return. The German goalkeeper is back in the lineup after suffering a kneecap rupture in September.
