Line-ups: Barca-Real Madrid

Neymar and Cesc Fabregas will start up front alongside Lionel Messi as Barcelona prepare to take on Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final.

The Blaugrana take on the capital club at Valencia’s Mestalla this evening, and Tata Martino has named the Brazil and Spain internationals to partner the Ballon d’Or winner.

Xavi, Sergio Busquets and Andres Iniesta will play in midfield, whilst Dani Alves and Jordi Alba are named as full-backs.

Marc Bartra has been passed fit to play at centre-back alongside Javier Mascherano. Jose Pinto plays in goal.

Los Blancos meanwhile, were without the injured Cristiano Ronaldo, so Isco came into the attack alongside Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale.

Luka Modric, Xabi Alonso and Angel Di Maria made up the midfield three, whilst Sergio Ramos was deemed fit to play at centre-back with Pepe.

Iker Casillas resumed his role as the cup goalkeeper.
