First cup title in nine years – Real Madrid do not celebrate

Real Madrid took the lead already after one minute and forty-seven seconds. Fix star Vinícius Júnior dribbled past a couple of defenders and assisted his Brazilian compatriot Rodrygo who made it 1-0 via an Osasuna leg.

After that, the teams continued to offer an undulating and chance-filled football match. In the 26th minute, Osasuna’s Abdessamad Ezzalzouli, on loan from Barcelona, ​​outwitted Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois – but Dani Carvajal managed to clear the Moroccan’s chip before the ball rolled over the goal line.

Thus, the teams went to the half-time break with the score 1–0 to Real Madrid.

The equalizer came in the 57th minute. The 28-year-old midfielder Lucas Torró, who previously belonged to Real Madrid, went for the half-volley and the ball found its way in close to the far post.

A couple of minutes later, Real Madrid regained the lead when Rodrygo scored his second goal of the night from close range. That was also the end result. The Copa del Rey title was Real Madrid’s 20th – but first since 2014.

However, it will not be a grand title celebration. This is reported by the Spanish newspaper Marca.

On Tuesday, Real Madrid faces Manchester City in the first of two Champions League semi-finals between the clubs.
