2025 Copa Del Rey Final Odds (Slightly) Favor Barca
Barcelona is a +110 favorite to beat Real Madrid in the 2025 Copa Del Rey Final. There are several reasons for this, starting with the fact that Barca did well in the last couple of El Clasicos.
Since Xavi became Barcelona’s manager, his team is 6-1-5 against Real Madrid. This is actually a great success given that Los Blancos have traditionally dominated this fixture.
In fact, Real Madrid leads the all-time series with 105 wins, while Barca has 102 triumphs. The remaining 52 El Clasicos finished in a draw.
Another reason why Barcelona is favored to win the 2025 Spanish Cup is that these guys usually do well in Copa Del Rey games. With 31 titles, Barca is the most successful CDR team. Plus, Xavi’s men have been pretty impressive in this season’s Cup.
They got themselves to the Final after knocking out Atletico Madrid, Valencia, Real Betis, and Barbastro (from the fourth tier of the Spanish soccer system). They scored 4+ goals in four of the five games played in the 2025 CDR.
Their hardest challenge was the semifinal doubleheader with Atleti, which started with a 4:4 draw in Barcelona. But in Madrid, they beat Diego Simeone’s boys 1:0.
Los Blancos are Dreaming of 2025 Copa Del Rey
The 2025 Copa Del Rey is Real Madrid’s chance to win a trophy this year as Los Blancos are unlikely to land any other silverware. They have huge motivation to do well in Sevilla against their archrival, but more importantly, they also have the manpower to pull it off.
The thing is that Real Madrid has an incredible roster in 2025. This team is ranked second on Transfermarkt’s list of the world’s most valuable soccer clubs, just behind Manchester City.
This is because several of Real Madrid’s key men are nearing the end of their careers, so their price tag just can’t be high. Luka Modric is the best example – at the age of 39, Real Madrid’s captain is valued at $5.67 million.
His younger teammates cost much more than that. In fact, three of the top 10 most valuable soccer players in the world are playing for Real Madrid – Vinicius Junior ($226M), Jude Bellingham ($204M), and Kylian Mbappe ($193M). In comparison, Barca only has one player in the Top 10 – Lamine Jamal ($204M).
What’s interesting is that all of those guys are forwards, famous for their ability to score sensational goals.
