They never disappoint Barcelona y Real Madrid. And the final of the Copa del Rey in Sevilla It was no exception. The Catalan team took the trophy with an agonizing goal in the supplementary time that gave him the victory by 3 to 2. Two strange things happened for the consecration culé: the scorer was the right side Jules Koundéwho took advantage of an error of Luka ModriC, the one that almost never fails, who put a pass to the medium that anticipated the French defender and then finish off from outside. Then Barcelona celebrated, who won the three games he played with Madrid this season. Quite more: those commanded by Hansi Flick They go for the triplet because on Wednesday they will play the first semifinals of Champions League Against Inter and because they are the leaders in solitude of the local league.
The opposite realities of Barcelona and Real Madrid were evidenced in the first half inside and outside the court in Seville. The always serene carlo Ancelotti showed an improper attitude: This time, the Italian coach was active and gesturing at the foot of the line as if Diego Simeone was and even received a yellow for protesting a hand in the middle of the court. A symptom for the moment. And on the playing field, those commanded by German Hansi Flick were superior to their rivals and from the bodily. The possession with which the initial stage culminated serves to graph: 65 percent in favor of the Catalans.
Madrid stood well as if it were a cast from the bottom of the Spain League. That message was captured and used by Barça, who felt even more owner of the scene. It is true that he did not generate many danger situations, although he was always close to the arc of Thibaut Courtois. The inclusion of the Belgian goalkeeper also serves to measure the moment of Ancelotti: in the previous five rounds of the Copa del Rey, Carletto He had given the opportunity to substitute Andriy Lunin.
The goal came with a small mistake. Fallas are usually key in large matches. Jude Bellingham lamented on the ground a filtered pass to Vinicius that Cubarsí cut when the Brazilian went face to face with Wojciech Szczęsny. The English grabbed his head and stopped while the play continued. Pedri grabbed her in her field, threw her long for Lamine Yamal and went to look for the other area. The youthful steering wheel of Barça ran 40 meters before receiving from Yamal and hanging it from an angle with a shot from the crescent. The action occurred before Bellingham’s passive gaze, which never resumed his defensive tasks. It is known: in modern football no footballer can afford to not run.
Everything changed in the complement with the entrance of Kylian Mbappérecovered from a slight right ankle sprain. The Frenchman modified his team’s face and instilled fear of the Catalans. Modric’s entry was also productive. In a few minutes, Szczęsny stopped three to avoid tie. He looked tired Barcelona and Flick took the bank.
Mbappé equaled free kick and tchouaméni, headed, put the 2-1 for the capitalists. Only there was Barcelona activated again. It may be a sin of a youth squad, because when he set foot in the accelerator, he sent Real Madrid back. He rubbed the Yamal lamp and left Ferrán Torres, who tied in two to send the game to supplementary time.
Of course, the questioned Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea entered into action, the referee pointed by Real Madrid through his official television channel. The judge marked penalty in the last play for alleged touch of Asencio to Raphinha. The var in action entered and the collection was reversed for the tranquility of Ancelotti.
The penalties seemed inevitable until Modric put that evil pass to the medium and Koundé celebrated. The cameras posed quickly in Ancelotti, which seems to have completed a cycle in the institution. Will it be the new Brazilian coach?
Barcelona celebrated and it was fair: it is and was the best of the two teams. In the end, the German Antonio Rüdiger from the alternate bank threw an object (an ice? A tape wrapped?) To the referee and saw the red one. The performance of Burgos’s aforementioned? Very lazy, with several doubts, although he did not favor any.
He raised his 32 Barcelona cup, the Flick set that goes through the triplet and for history.
