The 2012 Copa del Rey final was the 110th final since
the tournament's establishment (including two seasons where two rival editions were played). The match was contested by
Athletic Bilbao and
Barcelona on 25 May 2012 at the
Vicente Calderón in
Madrid. This was the clubs' first meeting in the final since
2009 where Barcelona won the trophy with a 4–1 victory. The same teams, the two with the most cup wins in the history of the competition, also met in the Round of 16 of the
2010–11 edition, in which Barça prevailed on away goals after two draws.
Barcelona lifted the trophy for the 26th time in their history with a 3–0 victory.[2][3]
