Iker the Octopus tips Real Madrid to win Copa del Rey

Real Madrid’s odds are 3/1 to beat Barcelona, but picking a winner is certainly a challenging task, despite Barcelona being the 5/6 favourites to claim victory in the 90 minutes.

It took Iker ten minutes to make up his mind, with the process of making a selection done through which sardine he selects at random.

Real Madrid are 11/8 to win the Copa del Rey by any means, but punters may be better taking advantage of the 3/1 as none of their five ever cup finals against Barcelona have required extra time to find a winner.

A victory for Real Madrid would also end a disappointing run in the competition as they have failed to lift the Copa del Rey since they beat Real Zaragoza in 1993.

Meanwhile, they have already been beaten finalists twice in this century following defeats to Deportivo La Coruna and Zaragoza.

Furthemore, they were defeated on the last occasion they met Barcelona in the final in 1990, which like this year happened to take place in Valencia.
