Finally, Athletic of Madrid and FC Barcelona will be the two teams that beat the copper in one of the semifinals of the Glass of the King 2016-2017. A duel that has left exciting eliminatory coperas along the history and that analysed have left some very balanced results.

And it is that we are speaking of two of the best teams of the Spanish state, that definitely always have honoured this competition unlike others. Since they crossed for the first time in 1925 in the Glass, have seen the faces in a total of 23 pairings.

The first was in the semifinals of this edition of the championship copero that finish in tie but that finish carrying the Barça in a duel of tiebreaker. The Barcelona are those that more times have achieved to impose, in a total of thirteen occasions, by the ten of the athletic.

The positive note of the analysis of all this is that the Barça has achieved to delete to his rival in the two last occasions that have seen the faces in Glass. The first with Pep Guardiola in the footpath, in the 2008-2009 that finish with the "triplete" Barcelona. In that occasion a 1-3 in the Calderón and another 2-1 in the Camp Nou gave them the note for the quarter-finals. The most recent already with "Struggle" was and the 2014-2015, one zero in the Camp Nou and two to three in the Calderón to leave step to the second "triplete". There will be a triplete of tripletes this course?
