Real Madrid win Copa Del Rey after Nine Years
Real Madrid beat Osasuna to clinch the coveted Copa Del Ray for the first time since 2014, with a comfortable 2-0 win at Sevilla.
Brazilian star Rodrygo was once again on target, rising to the occasion and scoring both goals for Real after capitalizing on a Toni Kroos’ deflected shot and an assist from Vini Jr.
Osasuna, playing in only their second Copa del Rey final, had threatened an upset when Lucas Torro leveled but it was not enough to trouble Ancelloti’s men.
Osasuna, backed by nearly 25,000 fans inside the Estadio de La Cartuja, had their chances as they chased the first major trophy in their 103-year history.
They were however denied a stoppage-time equalizer when Dani Carvajal produced a last-ditch block to keep out Kike Barja's side-footed shot.
The win for Real secures a 20th Copa del Rey title, with the focus now turning to Tuesday's Champions League semi-final first leg against Manchester City.
Vinicius Jr, who returned to the Real starting XI as Ancelotti made five changes to the side that lost at Real Sociedad, proved to be a constant threat down the left.
Real will be hoping they can welcome back Luka Modric from a hamstring issue to face City in the first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu.
