Kounds settled an exciting and fiery finale to keep a living high sleep

Barcelona stayed on the way to high points after a dramatic 3-2 dramatic victory over Real Madrid in the extraordinary Copa Del Rey final.

It was talked about Madrid who boycotted the finals for dissatisfaction with the appointment of judges and officials of VAR, and there would be a lot of controversial decisions in the classic window in Seville.

Barca took over the leadership of a long -range opening opener from Pedri, but the introduction of Kylian Mbappe, who missed the last two league matches with ankle injury, turned the tide in favor of Madrid.

He straightened up with a free kick of 70 minutes before Aurelien Tchoumen moved them forward, only to make Ferran Torres late to straighten with a miraculously composed ending.

Referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxe was placed in the center of attention when he pointed to the penalty in the 96th minute after Raphinha fell under the challenge of Raul Asencia, only to turn his decision after VAR review.

But Barca made sure that the exciting competition would not be resolved by the penalties, Jules Koudendi the unlikely source of the winner of the 116th minute, because they secured a record 32. Copa del Rey title, although the conclusion was stunned as Madrid’s Antonio Rudiger neglected to throw objects from the facility. Lucas Vazquez was also sent for his participation in the incident.

Barcelona in Real Madrid

Barca forced Thibauta Courtois to key in the 21st minute when Belgian turned Kounda’s header against a wooden house and behind him after a French defender rose to meet Raphinh’s free kick.

But just seven minutes later, Barca took the lead in a sublime way with a goal that started when Pao Cubarsi made a top interception to stop the Madrid counter.

Pedri collected a loose ball and played the perfect long passage to the right wing for Lamine Yamal, which set out down the line before finding a gap between three covered by Madrid defenders to lay the ball to apply Pedri, which hit the Bendrous in the upper corner.

Jude Bellingham seemed to have found a quick response, only that his close range was excluded due to the offshore. After Dani Olmo approached a direct shot from the angle at the other end, Madrid was denied the penalty for the same reason when Vinicius Junior lowered in the area.

Carlo Ancelotti made the decision to throw himself on Mbappe after the vacation, and it showed instrumental, providing Madrid by attacking the momentum that was absent absent in the first half.

Still, Madrid was frustrated because Wojciech Szczesny rejected Vinicius twice, and the Brazil striker was later guilty of too much hesitation after another opening was created mainly due to the threat of Mbappe.

However, Mbappe ensured that Madrid’s much improved effect had given the dividends after the second half after Frenkie de Jong revealed it on the edge of the area. Madrid seemed to be an angry De Jong did not send, but Mbappe still demanded a punishment with a great low free kick that stormed in the post.

Seven minutes later, the turnaround was over, Tchoumeni rose to the power of the free kick by Ard Guller beyond the helpless Szczesny.

However, there would be another turnaround in the story, the one who was scheduled when Yamal forced Courtois on diving, except for bending efforts.

Yamal will again give an assist as Barca leveled in a spectacular way, his perfectly torn -up full of passes from the right, excellently controlled Torres, who stroked the ball home after rounding Courtois.

Barca seemed to be on the verge of ending the turnaround when Bengoetxe risked the anger of Madrid by awarding a sentence because it seemed to have demolished Raphinh. However, a trip to the monitor on the ground, which was preceded by protests in Madrid, changed his mind.

However, Barca was the stronger side in the additional time and, although Torres let two presented opportunities presented to pray, eventually found the winner because Kounde’s drive proved too powerful for the fatigue and despair of Courtois.

There was still time for the focus to return to the judge, who rightly gave Rudiger and Vazquez his marching orders after the unfortunate scenes that were far from appropriate enchanting competitions.
