  • Koeman’s men have a golden chance for silverware despite an indifferent season
  • The Dutchman will be hoping to secure the first trophy of his reign at Nou Camp 

Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman has the chance to win his first trophy since taking over at the Nou Camp as his side square off against Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey final on Saturday. 

The Catalan side started the season shakily but still have the chance to end the campaign with two pieces of silverware, and will hope to get themselves up and running with a triumph in the domestic cup.

Their opponents are languishing in mid-table, but have every chance of pulling off a shock after beating the Spanish giants in the Spanish Super Cup in January. 

Kick off is at 8.30pm GMT.
