Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid takes place in the Copa del Rey final on Friday evening, with Real hoping to claim some silverware in what some are touting could be the end of manager Jose Mourinho's stint in Madrid. The game is scheduled to kick off at 3.30 p.m. ET and can be watched online through free live stream via the link provided below.
This should be a fierce clash between two great Madrid rivals. Real will be attempting to claim back the trophy they last won two years ago, where as Atletico will be trying to win the Copa del Rey for the first time since 1996.
The atmosphere of the final should be electric, taking place in Real's Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
Real will be hot favorites to take the cup from their local rivals, having beaten them twice during the regular La Liga season, where Real won 2-0 at home and 2-1 away.
Atletico have the quality of players to trouble Real and they will push them all the way, but they will have to tighten things up at the back to try and stop Cristiano Ronaldo and co from breaching their defense, otherwise they could end up on the end of another defeat to their bitter rivals.
Real will have hated the way Barcelona were so easily able to run away with the Spanish La Liga title, snatching back the title from them after just one season. And they will be hoping to end the season on a big high note by winning the Copa del Rey today. In particular, doing so against their local rivals will no doubt delight fans that much more.
However, things will by no means be a pushover, and Atletico will know that if they can be at their best they have a reasonable chance at taking Real down. As they have the underdog label it would make victory even more sweet should they be able to win the cup today.
Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid will kick off at 3.30 p.m ET from the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid, Spain and can be watched on TV on ESPN, or alternatively can be watched online through free live stream by clicking here.
