Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao have request their Copa del Rey final be held at the Santiago Bernabeu, home of Real Madrid.

"The Spanish Federation had received requests from some cities to host the Cup, but not from Madrid," said Albert Soler, Barca's director of sporting institutional relations. 

"Since both clubs wish to play the final at the Bernabeu, we made a formal request to Real Madrid and, therefore, will be waiting for an official response.

"So far we have not considered any other option than the Bernabeu, as we await an answer from the federation."
