Real Madrid vs Osasuna match preview
Will Real Madrid win their 20th Copa del Rey, or can Osasuna spring a surprise in Seville?
This is los Blancos’ first appearance in the final since 2014 having, bizarrely, only featured in five of 29 finals since 1993.
To get here, Carlo Ancelotti’s have certainly done it the hard way, coming from 2-0 down at Villarreal, ousting Atlético Madrid in extra time, before overturning a first leg deficit against Barcelona.
In the semi-finals, after losing the first leg 1-0 at home, Real Madrid then smashed Barça 4-0 at Camp Nou, with Karim Benzema bagging a hat-trick on a famous night in Catalonia.
This kicks off a season-defining 11 days for los Merengues, who host Manchester City in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final on Tuesday.
With the La Liga title race over, los Blancos have been resting and rotating in the league, losing four of their last eight matches, most-recently beaten 2-0 by Real Sociedad in San Sebastián on Tuesday.
Osasuna meantime have overcome holders Real Betis on penalties, Sevilla in extra time and then Athletic Club to get here.
In the semis, after both legs were won 1-0 by the hosts, the tie went to extra time at San Mamés, towards the end of which Pablo Ibáñez volleyed home his first-ever senior goal to send his team through.
So, this is just los Rojillos’ second-ever appearance in a Copa del Rey Final, beaten 2-1 by Betis at the Vicente Calderón 18 years ago.
Obviously, Jagoba Arrasate’s team are huge underdogs, but they cannot be underestimated, given that they’re ninth in La Liga, notably leaving the Bernabéu with a point back in October.
If los Gorritxoak were to prevail, they’d capture the club’s first-ever major silverware and qualify for next season’s Europa League, thereby featuring in UEFA competition for the first time since 2006.
This Saturday night clash at Estadio de La Cartuja is not to be missed, so will Real Madrid be simply too strong, or will it be the most famous night in the 103-year history of Osasuna?
Real Madrid team news
Star attackers Vinícius Júnior and Karim Benzema were left at home in mid-week, with forgotten man Mariano Díaz leading the line, but both will return here.
Daniel Carvajal was sent off against Real Sociedad, a decision he certainly doesn’t agree with, but will serve his suspension against Getafe next weekend, meaning he is free to play here.
Eduardo Camavinga is out injured but Ferland Mendy, David Alaba and Luka Modrić have all been included in the squad, hoping to feature both here and against Man City on Tuesday.
Fede Valverde is set to return in midfield, alongside Toni Kroos and Aurélien Tchouaméni, with Dani Ceballos thereby likely to miss out.
Of those who featured in Real’s most-recent Copa Final in 2014, only Carvajal, Modrić, Benzema and of course manager Carlo Ancelotti are still at the club.
Predicted XI (4-3-3): Courtois; Carvajal, Rüdiger, Militão, Nacho; Tchouaméni, Kroos, Valverde; Rodrygo, Benzema, Vinícius.
Osasuna team news
Jagoba Arrasate rotated heavily for Tuesday’s last minute 1-0 defeat at Camp Nou, with the majority of his key players rested ahead of this final.
Barcelona loanee Abde Ezzalzouli missed out on a meeting with his parent club due to suspension, but is available to play here.
Top-scorer Chimy Ávila lead the line in mid-week, but Kike or Ante Budimir could return, with Arrasate facing a tough dilemma.
Club captain David García his missed their last two games injured so, if he doesn’t make it, Unai García will be partnered by Aridane Hernández.
Darko Brašanac is their only other absentee, having ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament against Elche last month.
Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Sergio; Peña, García, Hernández, Sánchez; Moncayola, Torró, Barja, Oroz, Abde; Ávila.
