In a thrilling overtime battle, Barcelona defeats Real Madrid 3–2 to claim the 2025 Copa del Rey title.
In a breathtaking spectacle, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 3–2 this Saturday (26) at La Cartuja Stadium in Seville, lifting the Copa del Rey trophy for the 33rd time in its history! The classic match ended tied in regular time, with goals by Pedri and Ferran Torres for Barça and Mbappé and Tchouaméni for Madrid, leading the decision into overtime. Just when penalties seemed inevitable, Koundé capitalized on a crucial mistake by Madrid and scored the winning goal. Besides the Copa del Rey, Barcelona already clinched the Spanish Super Cup this 2024/25 season and is still competing in LALIGA and the Champions League, currently leading the league and reaching the semifinals. In the first half, Barça dominated with 63.4% ball possession and several clear chances. In the second half, Mbappé shifted the momentum and brought Madrid back into the match, but Barça’s determination prevailed. During extra time, nerves were high until Koundé sealed the victory.

The Copa del Rey title further strengthens Barcelona’s excellent form under Hansi Flick, who took over the club this season and has already collected two trophies in less than a year. The final also marked the first national title won by Lamine Yamal, a 16-year-old prodigy who is already seen as the next big star in Spanish football. On Real Madrid’s side, the defeat increases pressure on Carlo Ancelotti, who, despite leading the team to the final stages of the Champions League, has been criticized for tactical decisions in key matches. Another highlight was the fan attendance: the final set a new record for Copa del Rey ticket revenue, surpassing 4 million euros in sales. Off the pitch, rumors suggest Barcelona plans to extend Pedri’s contract until 2030, further investing in its young and promising squad.
