Spread the love

Barcelona are one of the world’s most decorated clubs and have more Copa del Rey wins than any other, but a large portion of the current squad have never experienced playing in the final of this tournament.

It’s not just the younger players, either, with Copa del Rey veterans such as Antoine Griezmann and Neto also never having played in the final.

Neto actually won the Copa del Rey while at Valencia in 2019, but was absent from the final as Marcelino opted for Jaume Domenech between the sticks.

A number of the Blaugrana squad are also relatively new to either the club or Spanish football in general and others yet to taste a Copa del Rey final include Miralem Pjanic, Martin Braithwaite, Frenkie de Jong, Sergino Dest, Pedri, Trincao, Junior Firpo and Matheus Fernandes.

It is also something new for youngsters Ronald Araujo, Ilaix Moriba, Riqui Puig and Oscar Mingueza.

All in all, 14 members of Barcelona’s squad have never played in a Copa del Rey final before.

Many of these players will feature in their first Copa del Rey final on Saturday in Seville against an Athletic Club side who, curiously, will have far more final experience, having lost the 2020 final just two weeks ago to Real Sociedad.
