The2013 Copa del Rey final was the 111th final since thetournament's establishment (including two seasons where two rival editions were played). The match was aMadrid derby betweenReal Madrid andAtlético Madrid on 17 May 2013 at theSantiago Bernabéu Stadium inMadrid.[2] It was the clubs' first meeting in the final since1992 when Atlético won 2–0 over Real Madrid. Before this match, the two teams had met in the final on three other occasions:1960,1961 and1975; all were Atlético wins, except 1975 when Real Madrid won.
Atlético lifted the trophy for the tenth time in their history.[3] It was the first time since 1992 that Atlético had won trophies in two consecutive seasons, following their win in the2012 UEFA Europa League Final the previous year.[4]
Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid and theRoyal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) all agreed onMadrid as the location for the event.
