MATCHDAY: Barcelona-Athletic Bilbao in Copa del Rey final

A look at what’s happening in European soccer on Saturday:. Barcelona faces Athletic Bilbao in the final of the Copa del Rey in Seville, just two weeks after Bilbao lost the delayed 2020 final at the same stadium. Barcelona is seeking to add to its record 30 trophies in the competition that includes four straight from 2015-18. Even though it is in the thick of the Spanish league title chase, Barcelona is eager to get back to winning after finishing last season without a trophy and with Lionel Messi considering his future. Bilbao has won the cup 23 times, second only to Barcelona, but its last triumph was in 1984. It lost 1-0 to Real Sociedad in the 2020 final that was postponed until earlier this month. No fans will be allowed into La Cartuja Stadium due to the pandemic.
