Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Copa del Rey final between Barcelona and Valencia. We'll bring you all the action as it happens at the Benito Villamarin. Kick off is at 8pm.

Barcelona have taken a grip of the game again after that Rodrigo opportunity. They are in control, although Valencia are looking well organised at the back. We expected this pattern.

Good defending from Gaya. He had to fight to put the ball behind for a corner kick nder pressure from Semedo. Barcelona were camped on the edge of the Valencia penalty box there!

That opportunity has really roused the Valencia supporters inside the Benito Villamarin. They really believe that they can pull this off. Their team should probably be ahead already.

That was incredible from Pique. Rodrigo couldn't really have done much more. His shot was powerful enough and found the near post, but the Barcelona centre back got there on the slide.

Off the line! That was inches, maybe less, away from being an opener for Valencia! It was a mistake from Lenglet that presented Rodrigo with the chance, he rounded Cillessen, but Pique was back on the line to make the clearance!

I'm not entirely sure that Valencia have had a touch of the ball yet. It has been all Barcelona. They are knocking the ball around freely and at a good tempo. Good start from the Catalans.

Of course, there's no doubt that Barcelona are the favourites for this Copa del Rey final. But they have been somewhat vulnerable in recent weeks (Anfield anyone?). This might not be a foregone conclusion.

Valverde had a number of injury concerns ahead of this match. Arthur and Coutinho were both doubts, but they play. However, Dembele and Suarez were not able to recover in time.

Valencia found some strong form to clinch fourth place in the Liga table towards the end of the season. If they can carry that momentum into this game they will give Barcelona problems.

The Copa del Rey final is under way! It's Barcelona against Valencia in Seville!

Some fantastic TIFO displays from the fans at the Benito Villamarin. This promises to be quite the clash. Great colour and noise.

Not long until kick off in the 2018/19 Copa del Rey final. It's been quite the tournament this season. Let's hope for a fitting conclusion.

What an atmosphere at the Benito Villamarin. It's really building into something special. The Valencia supporters are setting the standard. They realise what an opportunity this is for their team.

I'm Graham Ruthven and you can catch me on Twitter ahead of the match to let me know your thoughts. Can Valencia spoil Barcelona's party? How big a miss will Suarez be? Tweet me!

Domenech keeps his place as the cup goalkeeper for Valencia. Gameiro and Rodrigo can cause Barcelona problems. Not many teams play a front two like them against the Catalans.

Party poopers? Of course, Barcelona can win the double if they win this evening having already clinched the Liga title. Can Valencia stop them from winning this competition again?
