2023–24 Copa del Rey

Since the first final between Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid, 122 single-match finals have taken place (the 1904 final was not held, whereas in 1910 and 1913 two parallel tournaments and finals were played due to disagreements between the FECF and the UECF, both considered official; in 2023, the RFEF retrospectively announced that they recognized the 1937 Copa de la España Libre as an official tournament won by Levante FC,[2][3] distinct from the Copa del Rey.[4] Four finals were replayed after the first games ended in a draw,[5] with 26 others going to extra time and seven of those requiring a penalty shoot-out to decide a winner.

As of 2024, 36 different teams have competed in the final, with 15 of them winning the tournament at least once. On 18 occasions, the winning team also won La Liga (which began in 1929) in the same season, thus making a domestic double. Barcelona are the only team to win La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the UEFA Champions League in the same year, having done so twice in 2009 and 2015.[6][7] The competition was not held in 1938 due to the impact of the Spanish Civil War.[8]

Barcelona hold the record for the most wins and most finals appearances, with 31 from 42 total appearances. Real Madrid hold the record for the most finals lost (20). Of the teams who have participated in more than one final, Español de Madrid and Celta Vigo share the worst win–loss record with three defeats and no victories each. Of the victorious teams, Arenas have the lowest percentage of success, winning one out of four finals (25%). Athletic Bilbao are the reigning champions, having won their 24th title in 2024.

Lionel Messi holds the records for most goals scored in finals (9), most finals scored in by a player (7), most assists provided in finals (6), most appearances in finals (10, along with Sergio Busquets) and most man of the match awards won in finals (3).[9] Messi and Busquets, along with Barcelona teammate Gerard Piqué and Agustín Gaínza of Athletic Bilbao, share the most Copa del Rey trophies won by a player, with 7. Telmo Zarra holds records for consecutive finals scored in (finding the net on each occasion between 1942 and 1945) and the most goals scored in a final (four, in 1950).[10]

  1. ^ a b c The 1904 final between Athletic Bilbao and Español de Madrid was not played due to a dispute; Athletic was awarded the trophy.
  2. ^ a b c The number of wins Athletic Bilbao have been credited with is disputed. The 1902 version was won by Bizcaya, a team made up of players from Athletic Bilbao and Bilbao FC. In 1903 these two clubs merged as the current Athletic Bilbao. The 1902 cup is on display in the Athletic museum and the club includes it in its own honors list.[13] However, that edition is not recognized as official by the RFEF.[4] Another version of Bizcaya was formed for the 1907 tournament and reached the final.
