Athletic Club had chance to lift Copa Del Rey trophy two weeks earlier against ir Basque rivals Real Sociedad but fell to a disappointing defeat. However, Bilbao have a chance to redeem mselves and lift trophy on Saturday night, but will face a stern test in FC Barcelona. Los Leones have struggled in LaLiga this season and winning cup competition will be a sign under new coach Marceli.
