Copa del Rey – Final 2016/17
Date: Saturday, 27th May 2017
Kick off at 20:30 UK/ 21:00 CET
Venue: Estadio Vicente Calderon.
Luis Enrique takes charge of Barcelona for one final time on Saturday evening, as his side face rank outsiders Alaves in the Copa del Rey final at the Vicente Calderon.
The 47-year-old enjoyed much success in his first two campaigns at the helm but is now relying on this weekend's showpiece to salvage his final term, having failed in both the Champions League and La Liga.

Deportivo Alaves
Mauricio Pellegrino can be more than proud on the achievements he has made with Deportivo Alaves in this season of both Primera Division and Copa del Rey.
The nominal visitors ended the league campaign in the top half of the standings and they reached the cup final.
Alaves’ main characteristics is a rock-solid defense, but it will probably have the toughest possible challenge to stop the MSN trio in Barca’s final third.
