The Copa del Rey is Spain’s most interesting competition – so why can’t UK fans watch it?

Do you want to understand the biggest story of the day before anyone else? for our brilliant new daily newsletter Saturday night brings one of the showpiece events of the Spanish football season. In one corner, Athletic Bilbao are aiming to win their first Copa del Rey in 39 years and end their traumatic run of losing each of their most recent six finals in the competition.

Athletic’s semi-final victory over Atletico Madrid was another exciting match From January 10-18, Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid 5-3 and Barcelona 4-1 in the Supercopa before losing 4-2 to Atletico in the Copa del Rey. There were 19 goals across three classic matches between three of European football’s strongest teams. The action was thrilling and engrossing but, in the UK at least, unavailable to watch on TV.
