Welcome to live coverage from the Copa del Rey Cup final from the Mestalla where FC Barcelona face Real Madrid.

Nope, it's Xavi, and his curled cross is headed away. Di Maria tries to break down the right wing, but he runs the ball out of play.

Carvajal sends Alves' cross behind on the left. Iniesta will take a short corner, it seems.

Stunning photography.

Fabregas toes a loose ball across the box that Alves crosses back into the box, but Real win it back and Benzema breaks down the right, but sells Bale just short with his pass.

Isco finds Bale on the left, who skins the right back and pulls the ball back for Isco. He takes a shot inside the box, but Alba slides across to rescue the situation by blocking.

Messi cuts in from the right wing and sends in a low shot that rolls towards Casillas. Messi has been nowhere tonight.

Di Maria hits a ball over the top for Benzema to chase, but Pinto clears up the attack.

Real head Iniesta's chipped pass away and start an attack from midfield, spreading the ball right.

There's something that would be quite sad about the decline of Barcelona, if they hadn't spent the last five years hurling themselves to the ground under the slightest touch.

Alba pulls the ball back to Iniesta on the edge of the box, and Modric is across to cover well to block his shot.

The corner is headed away and Barcelona win a free kick on the right wing. Now Mascherano is being told off very firmly by the referee. Grown adults. Coentrao is down injured on the right wing.

Real Madrid win a corner on the left wing.

...which ends with Neymar laying the ball back for Iniesta to sky his shot. Casillas sends the goal kick long.

Barcelona are keeping possession now...

Di Maria and Benzema exchange two firmly struck passes to get through to the centre of the pitch, but di Maria is firmly tackled outside the box and Barca come forward.

Alba has Barca's best chance. A cross from h right from Alves, and Alba gets in at the back post, but he heads straight into the arms of Casillas.

Iniesta finds Fabregas with a great pass down the left of the box, and Fabregas sends a ball across to the back post, just out of reach of Neymar, while Messi was waiting for the cut-back.

Carvajal brings down a crossfield pass, and Real play the ball between defence and midfield and then find Bale, who runs diagonally forward (neither vertical nor horizontal, or is it both at the same time?) and lays the ball back for Di Maria to shoot limply.

There's a fight now, but a typical fight between Barca and Real. You'll understand that means nobody actually hits anyone. Coentrao claims Neymar dives, Neymar sticks his face into his, and so Coentrao sticks his finger into Neymar's mouth. Neymar and Pepe are booked.

Di Maria takes an easy tumble now, and the referee ingores it. Barcelona come forward, and Alves' cross from the right is headed away.

Casillas collects the ball and humps it to the left wing, and Barcelona quickly win it back.
