Jules Koundé scored a stunning late goal as Barcelona edged Real Madrid 3-2 in a thrilling Copa del Rey final on Saturday night in Seville.

Barcelona took an early lead through Pedri, who swept a precise finish into the top-left corner after being set up by Lamine Yamal at the edge of the area.

The Catalans dominated the first half, but Real Madrid improved significantly after the break, spurred by the introduction of Kylian Mbappé.
