Soccer

Every clash between Barcelona and Real Madrid is always hotly contested, but there is also silverware on offer at the weekend when the Spanish giants meet in the Copa Del Rey Final at La Cartuja in Seville. It’ll be the first time the two meet in the decider since 2014, with Barcelona currently on a run of victories over their rivals, including a resounding 4-0 win in Madrid last October. - Saturday, Premier Sports

UFC

Dubliner Ian Machado Garry will face Brazilian Carlos Prates in the welterweight main event on Saturday evening at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City. After 15 victories, Machado Garry had his only MMA defeat last December when he stepped in at short notice and lost a unanimous decision to Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 310. – Sunday morning (irish-time), TNT Sports

Athletics

One of the biggest marathons in the world takes place at the weekend with the 45th edition of the London event. Always an entertaining spectacle for running and non-running viewers, four-time winner Eliud Kipchoge, now 40 years of age, is back to run again. At the other end of the scale, someone will probably complete the course dressed as Big Ben. - Sunday, BBC
