Background
Barcelona were competing in their 41st Copa del Rey final, extending the competition record, and had won a record 30 titles prior. They were the reigning champions, having defeated Sevilla 5–0 in the 2018 final. The match was their sixth consecutive final, extending the record they set in the previous season, and were seeking a fifth consecutive title, a feat never accomplished before (only Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao have also previously won four titles consecutively).
Valencia were competing in their 17th Copa del Rey final, and would go on to win their 8th title. Their last title win had come in the 2008 final defeating Getafe 3–1.{{cite web |last=Tejedor Carnicero |first=José Vicente |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tabless/spancuphist.html |title=Spain – List of Cup Finals |website=RSSSF |publisher=Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation |date=2 May 2018 |access-date=28 February 2019}}
In reaching the final, both teams were assured qualification for the four-team 2020 Supercopa de España.
