Jules Kounde struck in the dying minutes of extra-time to hand Barcelona a dramatic 3-2 win over fierce rivals Real Madrid in an enthralling Copa del Rey final on Saturday night.
Barcelona won a record-extending 32nd Spanish Cup title thanks to a stunning strike from the French defender, who slotted in a low drive into the bottom corner from 25 yards in the 116th minute.
Pedri put the Catalans ahead in the 28th minute with a brilliant curling strike into the top corner from outside the box in a first-half dominated by Barcelona.
However, Real Madrid took control in the second half as Kylian Mbappe, who was absent from the starting XI as he has yet to regain full fitness from an ankle injury, came off the bench to score the equaliser from a free-kick in the 70th minute.
Aurelien Tchouameni gave Real Madrid the lead seven minutes later with a towering header from a corner before Ferran Torres found the equaliser in a counter attack in the 84th minute that took the game to extra-time.
Just when it seemed like the final would have to be settled in a penalty shootout, Kounde struck the winner that earned Barca the trophy.
It is the third time this season Barcelona would be beating their El Clasico rivals, following victories in the Super Cup and LaLiga.
