In a breathtaking clash at Estadio La Cartuja in Seville, FC Barcelona secured their record-extending 32nd Copa del Rey title by defeating arch-rivals Real Madrid 3-2 after extra time. This El Clásico final delivered every bit of drama, passion, and history fans could have hoped for.
A Match to Remember
The match started brightly for Barcelona, who took the lead in the 28th minute through a stunning long-range strike by Pedri. However, Real Madrid, never ones to back down, stormed back in the second half. Superstar Kylian Mbappé, fresh off the bench, leveled the game with a brilliant free-kick—marking the first set-piece goal of his illustrious career. Minutes later, Aurélien Tchouaméni gave Madrid a 2-1 lead with a powerful header from Arda Güler’s corner.
Just when it seemed Madrid would close the game out, Barcelona’s Ferran Torres found the equalizer in the 85th minute, thanks to a sharp assist from Lamine Yamal, sending the match into extra time.
In the 116th minute, with tensions at their highest, Jules Koundé stepped up. Intercepting a risky pass from Luka Modrić, Koundé calmly slotted home the winner, sparking wild celebrations among the Barcelona faithful.
Key Moments and Controversies
The game wasn’t short of drama off the ball either. Pre-match, tensions were high as Real Madrid questioned the appointment of referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea, fueling controversy before a ball had even been kicked.
During the match, a late penalty initially awarded to Barcelona was overturned after a tense VAR review. Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s defender Antonio Rüdiger was shown a red card — not on the field, but from the bench — during the extra-time period.
A Historic Win for Barcelona
This victory marks Barcelona’s 32nd Copa del Rey title, further solidifying their status as the most successful team in the competition’s history. Interestingly, this was the eighth Copa del Rey final between Barcelona and Real Madrid, with both teams now boasting four wins each in these epic encounters.
Manager Hansi Flick, who has already led Barcelona to the Supercopa de España earlier this year, now has his sights set on a potential historic treble, with Barcelona also leading the La Liga standings.
What’s Next?
With this major trophy secured, Barcelona’s momentum looks unstoppable as they march toward further domestic and European glory. Meanwhile, Real Madrid will have to regroup quickly as the season’s final stretch approaches.
One thing is certain — this El Clásico final will be remembered for years to come.
