face to face in Copa del Rey final

The traditional rivals are now in Valencia to fight for yet another title: the Copa del Rey. Lionel Messi, Iniesta, Villa and Xavi are the brightest stars that will try to defeat Mourinho's squad. Last saturday's duel proved that beating Madrid is not easy at all.

Guardiola claims that Madrid will wait for counterattacks and the game "won't be the match of the season". Mourinho also admits that "anyone could be the winner", and the moment of the truth will be when both teams meet on the pitch.

One of the most interesting duels to watch will be the famous Messi-Cristiano Ronaldo comparison. The two main stars are at their peak so it will be exciting to see them fighting for a title.

Another important duel: Casillas-Pinto. Barcelona's keeper is a usual substitute in the domestic league, but in every Copa del Rey match he was the first choice for Guardiola. This time, it won't be different.
