Ernesto Valverde's side have now reached the final every year since 2014, when they lost 2-1 to Madrid at Mestalla.

The Catalans have won the trophy in each of the last four seasons and 30 times in their history.

Luis Suarez scored twice either side of a Raphael Varane own goal to secure the victory.
