Barcelona and Sevilla will know the success of their respective seasons is on the line when they go head to head in the Copa del Rey final on Saturday.

The cup would certainly have been third on Barca’s list of priorities only a month ago, but the shattering Champions League defeat to Roma has altered perceptions of what might have otherwise have been a stellar campaign.

Unbeaten in La Liga and virtually certain to win the title, a domestic double may not be enough to remove the lingering disappointment from Rome.

Here, we look at some of the key match facts ahead of the clash at the Wanda Metropolitano.

– Ernesto Valverde’s men have still not tasted defeat in the 2017-18 league season after 33 matches – a new Spanish record.

– Barcelona have hit the woodwork 32 times in La Liga this season (Liverpool recorded 33 in 2010/2011, the most for a team in a single season in the Top 5 European Leagues since 2003).

– After a run of four games without conceding a single goal Barcelona have now conceded 10 in their last six games in all competitions.

– Sevilla haven’t managed a single win since knocking Manchester United out of the Champions League but have scored three goals in two games against Barcelona this season.

– Sevilla are Lionel Messi’s favourite opponent with the Argentine scoring 30 goals in 32 games against Andalusians, his highest total against any other side.
