Real Madrid will face Osasuna in the Copa del Rey finals with both clubs eyeing the silverware with the Madrid outfit winning their latest over a decade ago. Osasuna looks to rewrite their history for their first major trophy in the club’s 103-year-old tenure. Real Madrid is the most successful club in European competitions. They have won the Champions League title on 14 occasions and have lifted the Europa League twice as well.
They are also a force to reckon with domestically as well, having won the La Liga title a record number of 35 times. One of the three clubs in La Lig to never have been relegated, the Madrid outfit hosts numerous records and a brilliant history of wonderful achievements and world-class talents. They are the reigning champions of Europe and the Spanish top flight along with the Supercopa de Espana winning the treble in the 2021-22 season.
Real Madrid is known for its Galácticos policy, which involves signing the world’s best players, such as Ronaldo, Zidane, and David Beckham, to create a superstar team. Madrid signed Cristiano Ronaldo for a record-breaking £80 million from Manchester United and he became both the club and history’s all-time top goalscorer.
What is the Copa del Ray competition?
It is an annual knockout football competition in Spanish football, organized by the Royal Spanish Football Federation. It is considered one of the most prestigious national cup trophies in the world. Copa del Rey winners qualify for the following season’s UEFA Europa League. If they have already qualified for Europe through their league position, then the Europa League spot is given to the highest-placed team in the league that has not yet qualified.
Barcelona is the most successful club in the competition, having won 31 Spanish Cup titles. Athletic Club has the second-most titles with 23, while Real Madrid is third with 19 hoping to make it 20. Real Betis is the most recent winner, having defeated Valencia in the 2022 final.
How many times has Real Madrid won the Copa Del Rey title?
Real Madrid is actually only the third most successful side in the history of the Copa del Rey, behind Barcelona and Athletic Club. They have won the trophy an incredible 19 times, although that pales compared to Barcelona’s 31 victories. While 19 is a lot of times to win a trophy, Los Blancos have only won it twice in the last 30 years, which is remarkable considering their regular success in La Liga and the Champions League.
Real Madrid last won the Copa del Rey in the 2013-14 season, when they defeated Barcelona in the final at Mestalla in Valencia. Gareth Bale’s iconic run off the pitch and around Marc Bartra, which came with just five minutes left to play sealed the victory for Los Blancos. That season culminated in a Champions League and Copa del Rey double for Los Blancos for the only time in their history.
