Final will be the sixth between the two, with a history more for the Catalan side who seeks his title 26, while whites 18.
Recent success with Pep Guardiola at the helm in conquering the last two editions. Long absence from Real Madrid for a tournament that does not expire in 1993, with two embarrassing chapters in two finishes, especially in the 'Centenariazo' at the Santiago Bernabeu against Deportivo La Coruna.
Barcelona local act facing the classic Cup final with doubt in the defensive axis, where until minutes before the game not be revealed if Carles Puyol will vest or not, after taking part on Saturday and finished with a contracture. It is noteworthy that the only question now is Pep Guardiola, as a function of alignment Puyol, two players or more may be involved in the technical approach.
The case of Argentina's Javier Mascherano, punished in the first classic, but available for the final, which could occupy the central position with Piqué, or enter in midfield with Xavi and Iniesta made to delay Sergio Busquets heart of the defense. Another little doubt, though less important, is if the Brazilian Adriano has overcome contracture also suffered on Saturday and can be aligned, a fact that is not excluded, but in his absence the Barcelona will be without Maxwell, a player also the Guardiola maximum confidence.
The only guarantee in the starting lineup is that of goalkeeper Jose Manuel Pinto, the keeper of the Cup, who has the support of the technician, although Barca sectors have questioned the owner, Victor Valdés a state of splendid form, is not chosen for this match the most demanding.

With each of its decisions. With each of his gestures. Approve and cheer defensive approaches. Understand that it is the only way to overthrow the Barcelona. Inter Milan, champions league final Champions is the reference. And that will be planted in the Cup final with a trivote immovable in the middle of the field to reduce spaces and to curb the flow of play Barca.
And this time to meditate Mourinho waive the presence of a new born and put Cristiano Ronaldo as offensive reference, Mesut Özil ushering in behind him. The Cup is a thorn in Iker Casillas. Our title win was by Raul Gonzalez. Explains the 18 years that Real Madrid has not conquer. Bright generations of players who left without adding twisted his record.
Of the current squad only Raúl Albiol conquered it in the past. And will miss the final after their expulsion in the first classic. Its absence causes defensive moves. The entry of Alvaro Arbeloa on the right side and the passage of Sergio Ramos in the center of defense, as a couple of Carvalho, Pepe and seeing the figure of destructive midfield.
A figure that was only tested in San Mames Mourinho, but that has become key in the classics. Real Madrid are low in the final through injury and Fernando Gago 'Lass' Diarra, whom Mourinho confident but does not recover in time. And the coach has ruled out a technical decision unusual two players: Pedro Leon and Sergio Canales.
In his first year as Real coach Mourinho has returned to Real Madrid to fight for the titles.
