Real Madrid are set to take on Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final. Ahead of the game, here is a combined starting XI.

In the Copa del Rey, Madrid have suffered the most embarrassing and painful results in their history. Let’s first head back to 2002. That year, as Real Madrid celebrated their centenary, Vicente del Bosque’s side played the final at their home stadium, with Deportivo La Coruna their opponents.

Taking place in Valencia, Real Madrid would take the first final meeting between the duo. Going ahead 2-0 only 12 minutes into the match via Eugenio Hilario and Simon Lecue would be enough to see Real Madrid through. Josep Escola pulled a goal back for Barcelona, but it wouldn't be enough for them to overcome Madrid for the win.
