FC Barcelona will be looking to send off Luis Enrique in style and end the 2016-17 season on a high tomorrow evening when they travel to the Spanish capital to take on Deportivo Alaves in the Copa del Rey final at the Vicente Calderon. In many ways, this has been a testing season for the Blaugrana filled with euphoric highs and disappointing lows. While we can look back fondly on the historic comeback against Paris Saint-Germain and on Lionel Messi’s last minute winner at the Santiago Bernabeu, ultimately all these efforts have been for nothing.
Real Madrid claimed the La Liga title with a convincing win over Malaga last weekend at La Rosaleda, and they might yet win the double next weekend when they contest the UEFA Champions League final against Barcelona’s conquerors, Juventus.
