Barcelona make Copa del Rey history with Clasico triumph

Barcelona have become the first team to reach six consecutive Copa del Rey finals.

The holders beat Real Madrid 3-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday to claim a 4-1 aggregate victory in their semi-final tie.

Ernesto Valverde’s side have now reached the final every year since 2014, when they lost 2-1 to Madrid at Mestalla.

The Catalans have won the trophy in each of the last four seasons and 30 times in their history.

Luis Suarez scored twice either side of a Raphael Varane own goal to secure the victory.
