First-year coaches in need of some Copa clasico consolation

Tonight’s Copa del Rey decider between Barcelona and Real Madrid in Valencia will be very different from their last final meeting.

That clash took place amidst the ‘storm of clasicos’ which saw the teams meet four times in 18 days in 2011.

Jose Mourinho’s Madrid then battled their way to the Copa trophy, but Josep Guardiola’s men ultimately took that season’s Champions League and La Liga titles.
