Barcelona celebrate Copa del Rey final triumph over Real Madrid

The players, coaching staff, and club president Joan Laporta revelled in the triumph on the pitch at Seville's La Cartuja Stadium. In the heart of Catalonia, fans gathered at the iconic Canaletas fountain, marking their first trophy in two years.

The Blaugrana faithful are now dreaming of a potential treble, with their side still competing in the Champions League and La Liga.

Ferran Torres, who played a pivotal role in the victory, reflected on the gruelling encounter. "It was the most physically demanding match, no doubt," he said. "We've shown we're a top-class team and we never give up. It feels even sweeter when it's against Madrid in such a tough battle."

Frenkie de Jong, instrumental in midfield, acknowledged Real Madrid's quality but hailed Barcelona's resilience. "We started really well, but they pushed us hard because they have players with immense talent," he said.

"We've celebrated a bit, we'll celebrate a bit more tonight, and then it's time to focus on Inter."

Joan Laporta, beaming with pride, dedicated the win to the supporters who travelled to Andalusia. "I'm thrilled for all the culés who came to Seville," he said. "I'm so proud of the team and the club we have. This final had everything."

Teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, whose fearless performance captivated fans, oozed confidence in the aftermath. "If they scored one, it didn't matter. If they scored two, it still didn't matter," he said. "This year, they can't handle us, and we've proved it."

Young defender Pau Cubarsí, who stood tall against Madrid's attack, summed up the team's spirit. "The legs were heavy, but the badge weighs more," he said. "We had to fight until the end, and we got our reward."

The victory has ignited optimism among Barcelona's supporters, who believe their side can go all the way in both domestic and European competitions.

Recent posts on X echoed this sentiment, with fans praising the team's unity and Yamal's audacious flair. One user wrote, "Lamine Yamal is unstoppable, the future is now!" while another declared, "This is the Barcelona we love. Treble loading?"

As the Blaugrana shift their focus to upcoming challenges, this Copa del Rey triumph has sent a clear message: Barcelona are back, and they mean business.
