Copa del Rey 2024-25 – List of Copa del Rey Winners Over the Years

Barcelona and Real Madrid Are Not the Only Clubs To Have Dominated Copa del Rey Over the Years.

The 2024-25 season is nearing its end along with the Copa del Rey which is set to fold up by the end of this month. Real Madrid have already qualified for the final. Now, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona will fight it out at Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium to secure their spot in the final.

It was an absolutely thrilling affair in the first leg match where Atletico and Barca ended the match at a 4-4 draw. Real Madrid replicated that in their second leg against Real Sociedad with their own 4-4 draw. Having a 1-0 advantage from the first leg, Los Blancos squeezed past La Real.

It is anyone’s game in the semi-final second leg for Atleti and Barca. Playing the match at home, which is a fortress for Atleti this season, it almost seems impossible to win for any club. Whereas, Barca managed to win by a 2-4 margin already at Metropolitano only a few weeks ago. Hence, this will certainly be a thrilling match while neutral fans are hoping to see another El Clasico in the final.

Eventually, I realized I could combine my passion for writing with my love for football, and I’ve never looked back. My favorite part of the job is everything—when you’re doing what you love, even a late-night deadline feels like extra time in a thrilling cup final. Lastly, Lionel Messi is the GOAT.
