Kounde wins Clasico Copa del Rey final for Barcelona

Barcelona defeated Real Madrid in a thrilling Copa del Rey Clasico, with Jules Kounde scoring the winning goal in extra time.

The match had been evenly poised at 2-2 after 90 minutes, but Kounde’s stunning 22-yard screamer sealed the win for Barca.

Pedri had given Barca an early lead with a fantastic first-time strike, and Ferran Torres equalized after a brilliant run from Lamine Yamal.

Real Madrid took the lead through Aurelien Tchouameni’s header, but Kylian Mbappe’s free-kick leveled the score again.

The game went to extra time after a penalty decision was overturned, and Kounde’s winner proved decisive.

The match ended in controversy, with Antonio Rudiger and Lucas Vazquez sent off from the Real bench, and Jude Bellingham also receiving a red card for confronting officials after the final whistle.
