Barcelona 1-2 Valencia : 4 talking points from the 2018/2019 Copa del Rey final 

#2 Barcelona fails to make history

Barcelona were looking to make it five consecutive Copa del Rey trophies

Barcelona are record Copa del Rey champions, having triumphed in Spain's oldest club competition a total of 30 times.

They also achieved the distinction of being the first side to make it to six consecutive finals and have won the last four in succession.

The latter is a record the jointly share with their arch-rivals Real Madrid who won four on the bounce in the early years of the competition at the start of the 20th century as well as Athletic Bilbao who did so in the 1930s.

The Blaugrana would have been looking to make it five on the trot to have full ownership of the record, but this proved not to be the case, as Valencia failed to get the memo, ruining their party to ensure the record for most consecutive Copa del Rey triumphs is set to remain intact for at least the next five years.
