Barça's Copa win shows Real have more to worry about than refs

SEVILLE, Spain -- Jules Koundé was Barcelona's unlikely hero as they came from behind to beat Real Madrid 3-2 after extra-time at La Cartuja on Saturday to win the Copa del Rey after a gruelling Clásico battle.

With penalties looming, Koundé intercepted a stray pass in the 116th minute and fired a low effort into the bottom corner to seal what Barça hope will be the first trophy of a possible treble this season.

Madrid had earlier come from behind themselves, with substitute Kylian Mbappé and Aurélien Tchouaméni each scoring in seven second-half minutes to cancel out Pedri's first-half opener.
