The match is also a repeat of last season's Copa del Rey final, which Barcelona won 3-2 after extra time in April. Real Madrid won the first meeting between the sides this season 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu in October.
Barcelona arrived in Saudi Arabia as La Liga top-scorers with a four-point lead over their main rivals, while questions remain over the future of Xabi Alonso as Real Madrid coach, reports Xinhua.
Alonso's side beat Atletico Madrid in the second semifinal, but Atletico was the better team, and only poor finishing and the goalkeeping of Thi-baut Courtois kept Atletico at bay.
