At the end of an irrespirable Andalusian night, in a boiling cartuja, FC Barcelona wrote one of the most beautiful pages of its season. In a high tension clasico, the Flick's men bend Real Madrid (3-2 AP) to win a cup of the heroic king. A coronation carried by the audacity of his young people and the late explosion of his French rock, Jules Koundé.
A clasico with contagious madness
However, it all started in a waking dream for the Blaugrana. From the 28th minute, Pedri launched hostilities, taking advantage of a luminous offering of Lamine Yamal to crucify courteous. Barcelona mastered his subject, stifling a Real Madrid Timoré. But the break changed the situation. The entry of Mbappé, returned from injury, metamorphosa the Madrilenians. In ten minutes, Real overturned everything: first a sumptuous free kick of Mbappé (70th), then a raging head by Tchouaméni (77th) on a corner.
At 2-1, Real thought he was keeping his revenge. But Barcelona is never as dangerous as back to the wall. In the 84th minute, Ferran Torres arose to equalize, on a Yamal caviar. Fate refused to choose, direction the extension.
Mbappé still goalscorer against Barça.
Koundé as an unexpected liberator
When the legs burn and hearts vacillate, you need a hero. It was Jules Koundé. In the 116th minute, mounted as a scout, he won a strike from the law, clear, unstoppable, to capsize the cartuja. Courtois, however decisive against the former Bordeaux in the 21st, could only see the damage.
Real Madrid, nervous, annoyed, multiplied disputes and mood gestures, without ever finding his football. Arbitral controversies, agitated upstream by the Merengue club, will not have been enough: sports justice passed through the Barcelona determination.
The triumph of youth and character
At the end of an insane finish, Barça raises a deserved cup and nourishes his dream of tripled more than ever. For Real Madrid, it's a season that takes water, and a new clasico lost on the ground … and in the mind.
