The last time Barcelona won the Copa del Rey, Lionel Messi put up a masterclass against Athletic Club in the final of the competition, Ronald Koeman was the manager of the club and Lamine Yamal was just 13 years old.
Last night, they downed their eternal rivals Real Madrid after an epic tussle and were crowned the champions of the competition once more – this time under Hansi Flick with Yamal racking up two assists.
The game was a topsy-turvy one with Barcelona initially holding on to the momentum but losing their way in the second half and giving away the lead to Real Madrid.
