Barcelona has taken another step closer to its dream of a treble this season, securing a 3–2 win over Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final.
La Blaugrana came from behind against their fierce rivals in El Clasico, with Jules Kounde snatching the victory in the final stages of extra time.
The result sparked scenes of anger on Real Madrid’s bench, with three players sent off and the possibility of multiple suspensions looming.
While Barcelona celebrated, Hansi Flick quickly shifted his focus to the next challenges of the season, with a packed schedule ahead.
Flick had already secured the Spanish Super Cup earlier in 2025 with a win over Real Madrid in Saudi Arabia, but the Copa del Rey is his first major club title.

Barcelona currently sits four points clear of the reigning champions with five matches left to play and will face Inter in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals on April 30.
“There are still two matches to reach the point of winning the Champions League, but today was fantastic,” Flick said.
“It was a wonderful atmosphere. I’m very happy to celebrate a major victory against Real Madrid with my team, and this gives us the confidence to keep pushing and win even more,” declared Flick.
