Real Betis are Manuel Pellegrini's fourth Spanish club but this would be his first trophy with any of them if they were to win tonight.

They have a weak penalty appeal turned down.

A steady start to the second half as PSG keep hold of possession and try to lure Lens out - but it's not happening.

Valencia are straight at the attack but Goncalo Guedes can't lose his man in the box. Betis keeper Claudio Bravo boots the ball about 80 yards up the pitch.

We are under way in the Copa del Rey final in Seville.

Away we go again!

No changes to report at the interval.

It's almost time for the second half in Paris.

PSG are on course to seal their 10th league title, a point will do it, but they'll be hoping they can crown it in style in the next 45 minutes.

In a country renowned for its seemingly unending production line of world-class midfielders, 25-year-old star Carlos Soler is the latest Spanish player to attract a queue of suitors from the Premier League's elite clubs.

Already the beating heart of the Valencia midfield, the young, affable, born and bred Valenciano currently has a buy-out clause of 150m euros (£125m).

But with just about 14 months on his current deal and not much progress made on contract extension talks, a move from the cash-strapped club from Spain's third city looks more likely by the day if they are to avoid losing him for free at the end of next season.

Football does not often provide fairytale finales, but Saturday's Copa del Rey final between Real Betis and Valencia could end with one of the biggest feel-good stories of this or any other season.

Betis captain Joaquin, now 40 and one of Spain's most popular personalities, has the chance to crown his career by leading his beloved team to their first trophy in 17 years - with the added spice of the final being played in their home city Seville.

Joaquin is the oldest player in La Liga and a national institution. He has provided more than two decades of entertainment on the pitch since making his debut for Betis, aged 19, in September 2000.

With Betis likely to qualify for European football again next season, the extra games that would bring for the club would surely mean regular action for Joaquin next season and make it tough for the evergreen skipper to decide now is the time to walk away from football.

On the other hand, he could conclude there is no better way than to go out on a high, with another Copa del Rey triumph - lifted in his own city - to savour.

All over Spain, neutrals are hoping Saturday's final gives him that choice to make.

We're 10 minutes away from the Copa del Rey final - the first since 2010 not to feature Real Madrid or Barcelona.

Will it be Real Betis or Valencia who take the title?

Jeers from the home crowd as the first half ends goalless.

Both sides are falling into a back five when defending and it's not leaving much room for intricate passing and slick through balls. PSG are trying to create something but Lens win it back on the edge of their own box.

Lens have PSG penned in their own half. Can they create another opening before the interval...

Almost! Seko Fofana has had enough of the slick build-up play and lets rip from 20 yards, his strike flying a couple of inches over the bar. He's had a couple of those tonight and is hitting the ball sweetly.

Jonathan Clauss is picked out to the right of goal but his effort is tame and straight at Keylor Navas. A good chance. PSG got away with one there.

Kylian Mbappe is in! No!

Another off-target attempt from the French striker as he closes in on goal, lifting his shot well over.

Corner for PSG, which raises a reaction from the crowd. The stadium has just gone a bit quiet again as they await a moment of brilliance to ignite this display.

Lens are more than holding their own as we edge closer to half-time.

David Costa tries to create a yard of space for a shot inside the PSG penalty area but he's crowded out of possession.

And that's a big chance for Kylian Mbappe to find the opener!

Neymar plays Mbappe in but the Frenchman lifts his shot over. They're getting closer.

A first opening for Lionel Messi, who flashes a shot across goal which is pushed to safety by Jean-Louis Leca. There's nobody there for PSG to stick away the rebound.

Kylian Mbappe twists and turns on the left, setting up Marco Verratti for the cross but he can't pick out a team-mate.

Mbappe again finds himself in space on the left, and PSG work the ball inside before a Marquinhos shot from range is blocked.
