Beaten 2020 finalists Athletic Bilbao will be hoping to go one step further on Saturday as they take on the might of Lionel Messi and co. in this massive match in Seville. Follow our guide below on how to get a Copa del Rey Final live stream and watch Athletic Bilbao vs Barcelona online no matter where you are in the world.
In a somewhat bizarre turn of events, it's just one month since Bilbao lost out to Real Sociedad 1-0 in the Coronavirus-delayed 2020 final, in a match which saw Marcelino's side defeated by a second-half Mikel Oyarzabal penalty.
Despite that disappointment, Bilbao remains the second most successful team in the tournament with 27 wins, nestled in behind their opponents on Saturday night, with Barcelona boasting 30 triumphs in the prestigious knockout cup.
Barcelona are the unsurprising favorites coming into this final, with Ronald Koeman's side enjoying a good run of results in recent weeks.
Nevertheless, the Blaugrana's confidence may have been knocked following their 2-1 El Clasico defeat to Real Madrid last weekend, which has handed the initiative to Barca's great rivals in the race for the La Liga title.
