Modric’s Mistake: Barcelona Wins 2025 Copa del Rey

Barcelona won the 2025 Copa del Rey after defeating Real Madrid 3-2 in the final at La Cartuja.

Barcelona took the lead in the first half through Pedri in the 28th minute with a stunning strike, before Kylian Mbappé leveled the score with a free kick in the 70th minute.

Aurelien Tchouameni headed Real Madrid’s second goal in the 77th minute, before Ferran Torres equalized in the 84th minute, capitalizing on a blunder by Thibaut Courtois.

The match went to extra time, during which Luka Modric made a terrible mistake when passing to Brahim Diaz, who also made a poor run. Jules Kounde took advantage and fired the ball past Thibaut Courtois.


Barcelona thus won their 32nd Copa del Rey title, more than any other club in Spain.

This is the third consecutive El Clásico win for the Catalans this season, and the second consecutive title over Real Madrid, following the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have met eight times in the Copa del Rey final, with Barça winning four of them, and Real Madrid winning the other four, the last of which was in 2014.

Barça has now achieved the first title in its treble dream, as it leads La Liga by four points and will face Inter in the Champions League semi-finals.
