Barcelona face Valencia at the Benito Villamartin on Saturday, May 25. Here’s all the info you need to watch the match.

The Catalans have reached six successive finals starting in 2014 and have won four of them so far with a 5-0 win over Sevilla securing a record 30th title last year. The Catalans will be looking to stretch their lead over Athletic Bilbao as the most successful club in the competition with victory over Valencia on Saturday and history smiles on the Blaugrana to do just that.
In 24 past meetings between these two in this competition, Valencia have won just five of them and lost 13. That includes four finals in which Valencia have won just once, The last time both these sides met in the final was in 1971, Barcelona won 4-3. Infact, one would have to go back to the 2007-08 season to find the last time Los Che overcame Barcelona in a Copa del Rey tie. Victory over the Catalans in the semi finals that year saw Valencia reach the final, beating Getafe and winning their seventh Spanish Cup.
Luis Suarez, Marc Andre Ter Stegen, Ousmane Dembele and Arthur are all doubts for Barcelona while Nelson Semedo and Philipe Coutinho have returned to training ahead of the crucial encounter. Valencia only fitness concern is Ezequiel Garay who returned to training this week after suffering with a hamstring injury.
