Barcelona is flying high after securing a thrilling 3-2 victory over Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final held at Seville's La Cartuja Stadium. What made the game interesting was Barcelona defender Jules Koundé scoring the decisive goal deep into extra time, which shocked the Real Madrid team, who had been performing well. Pedri opened the scoring for Barcelona in the first half with a stunning long-range strike, but Real Madrid fought back in the second half with goals from maestro Kylian Mbappé, who came off the bench due to an ankle injury, and Aurélien Tchouaméni, giving Madrid a 2-1 lead. Ferran Torres equalised late in the 84th minute, pushing the match into extra time. In the 116th minute, Koundé capitalised on a loose pass from Luka Modrić and scored from outside the box to clinch the win for Barcelona, who lifted their record-extending 32nd Copa del Rey trophy.
And now, after the win, if we look at the head-to-head between these two sides, Barcelona is slowly but steadily coming up, as now they have 103 wins, and chances are they will surpass Madrid, who have 105 wins.
