Barcelona rule the roost on the Copa del Rey front, having won the competition a record 32 times. Following their dramatic 2025 victory, they remain the team to beat, though Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid are always perennial contenders.
Many stars have thrived on the Copa del Rey stage over the years, none more so than the mercurial Lionel Messi. The Argentinian legend still holds a series of Copa del Rey records, including most goals scored in finals (nine) and most finals scored in (seven).

History of Estadio La Cartuja
Estadio La Cartuja is a multi-purpose stadium situated in the Isla de la Cartuja in Seville. Opened in 1999 to host the World Athletics Championships, it has since become the spiritual home of Spanish cup football.
With a capacity of approximately 57,000 seats, La Cartuja is one of the largest and most modern venues in Spain. It has staged UEFA Euro 2020 matches, the 2003 UEFA Cup final, and numerous Spanish national team fixtures.
The 2025/26 campaign marks the eighth consecutive year that the Copa del Rey final has been held at La Cartuja, following a long-term agreement with the RFEF to keep the final in the Andalusian capital.
Away from football, the stadium has hosted legendary musical acts including Madonna, U2, Bruce Springsteen, and AC/DC, cementing its status as one of Europe's premier entertainment hubs.
