2017 Copa del Rey Final

The 2017 Copa del Rey Final is a football match scheduled for 27 May 2017 to decide the winner of the 2016–17 Copa del Rey, the 115th edition of Spain's primary football cup.

The match will be played between Barcelona and Alavés at the Vicente Calderón in Madrid. The winners will qualify for the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League group stage, as well as face the La Liga winners in the 2017 Supercopa de España.

Background
Barcelona has previously played in 38 Copa del Rey finals, second only to Real Madrid's 39, and has a record 28 victories. They are the reigning champions, having defeated Sevilla 2–0 after extra time in the previous year's final at the Vicente Calderón in Madrid. This is their fourth consecutive final, and they are seeking a third consecutive title, a feat previously accomplished by themselves in 1953, and Athletic Bilbao in 1916 and 1945; Real Madrid (1908) and Athletic (1933) hold the shared record of winning four consecutive finals.

Meanwhile, Alavés are competing in their first ever Copa del Rey final, and their first major final since their 5–4 defeat to Liverpool in the 2001 UEFA Cup Final.

Sergi Roberto and Luis Suárez are suspended for and will not play in the final for Barcelona, as they were both sent off in the semi-final second leg match against Atlético Madrid.
