Barcelona made history at the Santiago Bernabeu once again, this time by reaching the Copa del Rey final for the sixth successive year, something never previously achieved in Spain.
The Catalans, who have won the last four Spanish Cups and were runners-up in 2014, will play in this season's final at the Benito Villamarin in Seville on May 25 against either Real Betis or Valencia.
Barca are looking to win their 31st Copa del Rey in what will be their 41st final appearance. No one has won the tournament more than them.
FIVE IN A ROW?
In the final, Barca can become the first club in Spanish football to win five Copas in a row. The record is currently in Barca's hands at four (2015-2018) but it is shared with Real Madrid (1905-1908) and Athletic Club (1930-1933).
The last time Barca lost a Copa del Rey tie was the 2014 final. The last time they lost over two legs was also against Madrid, in the 2012-13 season at the semifinal stage.

Breaking news! Secret revealed!! The only reason Barcelona did not thump Madrid at Camp Nou, was because they didn’t want the Bernabeu to be empty, they wanted a full audience. Record matched. #ViscaBarca

Barcelona didn’t play well. Real Madrid were a better team overall. But it’s not always the best team on field who wins, it’s the one who takes their chances. Ajax were a better team the other day and Madrid won. Madrid are known to utilize the chances they create but not today. You may put that on the genius of MATS or put that on inexperience of Vinicius. But whichever way you think, football isn’t always fair but no ones complaining. Also that penalty was a poetic justice on Casemiro for simulating a dive the other day though Suarez was clearly fouled today. Karma I would say.
