Spanish Cup: Barcelona defeats Real Madrid in an exciting final and clinches the 32nd title.

Barcelona has opened a new chapter in its historical superiority over its rival Real Madrid, after snatching the Spanish Football Cup with an exciting 3-2 victory in an exceptional final that went into extra time after the original time ended in a 2-2 draw. In the 116th minute, French defender Jules Koundé unleashed a mercy bullet with a rocket shot from outside the box, securing the title for the Catalan team, awarding them the cup for the thirty-second time in their history, and the first since 2021. The match started with clear dominance for Barcelona, imposing their usual possession style, threatening Courtois' goal early with a dangerous header from Koundé, before Pedri opened the scoring in the 28th minute with a superb shot into the top corner, putting Barcelona in the lead. Real Madrid tried to respond but faced a solid defensive organization and limited movements, resulting in a disallowed goal and a penalty that were canceled due to offside, while Oulmo almost extended Barcelona's lead if not for the post, ending the first half with a deserved lead for the Blaugrana. At the beginning of the second half, Real Madrid changed the pace, launching successive attacks that were brilliantly saved by Ter Stegen, especially shots from Vinicius and Mbappé. With continued pressure, Mbappé equalized in the 70th minute from a direct free-kick, giving his team a strong push resulting in a second goal through Chumi's header after a corner kick in the 77th minute. However, Barcelona did not give up, bringing the game back to a draw with a killer goal by Ferran Torres six minutes before the end of regular time, forcing extra time. While everyone anticipated a penalty shootout, Koundé appeared in the crucial moment with a stunning shot that found the net, securing the victory and shattering Real's hopes. With this victory, Barcelona continues its dominance in El Clásico this season, after winning the league match and the Super Cup final, keeping the battle alive for the La Liga title, as the two teams will meet again on the eleventh of next month in a potentially decisive encounter.
