Barcelona locked horns with Real Madrid at the Estadio de La Cartuja earlier tonight as they looked to earn a good result in the final of the Copa del Rey. The Catalan club made a great start to the game and scored the opening goal in the 28th minute when Pedri got his name on the scoresheet. Hansi Flick\u2019s men went into the half-time break 1-0 up on the scoreline.<\/p>\n

Kylian Mbappe equalised for Los Blancos in the 70th minute before Aurelien Tchouameni completed the turnaround just seven minutes later. Barca grabbed a late equaliser thanks to Ferran Torres as the contest went to extra time.<\/p>\n

Jules Kounde ended up scoring the only goal of extra-time in the 116th minute as Barcelona secured a hard-fought 3-2 win in the Copa del Rey final.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at how each Barcelona<\/a> player fared during the clash against Los Blancos.<\/p>\n

GK: Wojciech Szcz\u0119sny \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Szczesny made his fair share of saves but won\u2019t be pleased after conceding twice in the second half.<\/p>\n

RB: Jules Kounde \u2013 8\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He did his best to keep Vinicius Jr. quiet and ended up scoring a dramatic winner in the 116th minute.<\/p>\n

CB: Pau Cubarsi \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cubarsi did his best to keep things solid inside his half but won\u2019t be pleased after shipping in two goals tonight.<\/p>\n

CB: Inigo Martinez \u2013 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He looked a bit shaky defensively at times but did enough to secure the win.<\/p>\n

He was a constant menace in the final third and ended the game with a couple of assists to his name.<\/p>\n

Olmo struggled to influence the game up top and was replaced in the 65th minute.<\/p>\n

He got himself into some dangerous areas but failed to take his chances.<\/p>\n
