FC Barcelona won a record-extending 32nd Copa del Rey title on Saturday by beating bitter rival Real Madrid 3-2 in a thrilling final that required extra time. Barca went 1-0 ahead through midfielder Pedri, who, with help from a Pau Cubarsi that had pulled off a masterful block near his penalty area, started the move through a long ball. Lamine Yamal held things up in Madrid’s box, and then laid off a cool diagonal pass for Pedri that was fired into Thibaut Courtois’ top corner.
