Copa Del Rey 2016/17 : Barcelona 1-1 Atletico Madrid, Five talking points

#5 It is Barcelona’s trophy to lose

Barcelona should have too much firepower for whoever they meet in the final

The Catalans are most likely to face Celta Vigo in the finals. They are always a tough prospect, and more so without Luis Suarez. But let’s not beat around the bush. Barcelona are too big for either of Celta or Alaves to topple, and anything other than a victory on May 27^th would be a major embarrassment. But that's inconceivable.

The Catalans are through to their fourth successive Copa de Rey final and on the road to secure a third consecutive Kings Cup title, something which no team has done since 1953. That in itself is motivating enough for the holders to go all guns blazing and defend the title once again.
