Real and Barcelona have not played each other in the Copa del Rey since the 2019 semi-finals.

Back then Barca won 4-1 on aggregate after beating Real 3-0 at the Bernabeu in the second leg. 

Real have not reached a Copa del Rey final since 2014 when they beat Barca 2-1 thanks to an 85th-minute Gareth Bale winner.

Meanwhile, Barca have been champions in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2021.
