Barcelona win their 32nd Copa del Rey title. They are now en route to their treble dream. 

Kounde's goal in the second half of the extra time was the decider for Barcelona to lift the trophy. 

Rudiger gets the red card as someone from the Real Madrid dugout threw the bottle at the referee. 

Endrick is offside and Barcelona will take loads of time to take this. 

2 minutes of injury time added.

There was a shout of a penalty but Mbappe was already offside. 

Kounde does the job for FC Barcelona. 

A lapse in concentration from Modric and Brahim did not read the pass from Modric. 

Kounde came in and shot the ball past Courtois from the "D" to give Barcelona the lead. 

FCB 3-2 RMA 

In: Pau Victor

Out: Ferran

Raphinha on the left had the chance to go deeper but he decided to shoot, which was blocked. 

Kounde blocks a cross from right. 

Arda Guler with a delicious cross for Jude to head the ball inside the goal. But, it was too long for him. 

Yamal looked for Raphinha in the middle. But Valverde came running to make the interception.

In: Endrick

Out: Rudiger

Guler from outside the box chipped the ball inside the box, looking for Jude. 

It was too long for the Englishman, though. 

Yellow card for Jude for a fould on Eric Garcia.

Fermin missed a golden chance as he slipped while making the effort. The ball went over the goal. 

Ferran Torres was clearly offside there before putting the ball at the back of the net. 

Will these 15 minutes be enough or are we heading to penalties? 

No goals. A few chances for both teams. Nothing separates the teams. 

Ferran Torres misses the target from a close range. That was inches away from the far post. 

The winger is down but the referee says game on. 

Ferran looked for Raphinha with a through pass. But, it was a bit too quick for him.

In: Eric Garcia

Out: Pedri

Araujo intercepts a cross from Diaz, which was aimed for Mbappe in the middle. 

Real Madrid had the chance to score in the counterattack. But Cubarsi made an important interception to disturb Kylian Mbappe's rhythm.

The game goes to the extra time. 

The referee has changed his decision on the penalty and booked Raphinha for diving. Scenes! 

A VAR check is going on to check whether there was enough from Asencio to give it a penalty. 

With only 1 minute left of the regulation time, Asencio fouled Raphinha inside the box. It is a clear penalty for Barcelona. 

Yellow card for Fermin for pulling Modric's shirt. 

Vital interception from Cubarsi again as he blocked a through pass from the right aimed for Mbappe. 

Yellow card for Modric for a bad foul on Gavi. 

6 minutes of injury time added. 

In: Diaz

Out: Vinicius

In: Gavi, Araujo

Out: FDJ, Martin

Out of nowhere, Ferran Torres does the job for Barcelona. 

His sixth goal of the tournament this season. 

Lamine Yamal with a top-class assist. His lobbed ball found Ferran making a run inside the box. He then defeated an incoming Courtois to score the equaliser.

FCB 2-2 RMA

Great save from the Belgian. Lamine Yamal's curling shot was going inside for sure. But Courtois dived to his left to make the save. 

A third consecutive corner for Real Madrid and an inswinging delivery from Guler helped Tchouaméni jump in the air to send the ball inside the goal.

Real Madrid take the lead. 

FCB 1-2 RMA 

Barcelona are under huge pressure. 

Surely Vinicius and Mbappe are outpacing the Barcelona defenders. 

Inigo, after losing the ball, came running to stop a pass from Vinicius from inside the box. 

Kylian Mbappe does what he has done for years!

Free-kick from just outside the box and he went through the wall to beat Szczęsny.

That was a very weak wall, and there was space in between. But Real Madrid and Mbappe did not mind it. 

RCB 1-1 RMA.

Ouuuuuu! This could be red as well. 

De Jong pulls down Mbappe from a goal-scoring opportunity. Was it enough for a red? The referee does not think so. 

Free-kick for Real Madrid.

Cristiano Ronaldo scores for Al Nassr, reaches 934 career goals…

In: Dani Olmo

Out: Fermin Lopez

Modric's low cross was nearly going towards Vinicius in the box. Kounde came running to make the block.

Kounde's long ball found Dani Olmo, who backheeled the ball, and it eventually found Raphinha on the left.

Though he had time and space, Raphinha's left-footed shot missed the target. He looks dejected. 

A curling right-footed shot from the Brazilian, and it missed the far post but a whisker. He urges the Real Madrid fans to cheer more. 

A weak shot from Vinicius and it goes straight to Szczęsny.

Madrid have looked good in the second half. 

Mbappe found Vinicius on the left. But Kounde's block and a brave move from Szczęsny helped Barcelona bail out tof he danger.

Good ball from De Jong and Raphinha had the chance to go deep or look at his right shoulder, where Yamal is waiting. 

But the Brazilian went for a shot from outside the box. He missed the target.

In: Guler, Modric

Out: Ceballos, Vázquez

Szczęsny has been pretty good. 

Mbappe entered the box and was looking for an opportunity to shoot or pass. 

But Szczęsny came running to block his effort from close range. 

Chance for Barcelona as Ferran lined himself up for a shot from the centre of the box. 

But Fede came running to make the interception. Corner for Barcelona. 

Bellingham passed the ball at the right time for Vinicius to strike. But Inigo's pressure took him wide.

Is Pedri the best midfielder in the world right now?

Kylian Mbappe replaced Rodrygo for Real Madrid. 

Barcelona have dominated Real Madrid in the first 45 minutes of the match. 

Pedri's stunning goal gave Barcelona the lead. Real Madrid tried to put pressure on the referee, and we could have seen a few more yellow cards, other than that. 

We have seen Kylian Mbappe warming up just before the half-time. Surely, he will come off the bench in the second half. 

FC Barcelona 1-0 Real Madrid

A huge chance for Vinicius to level the score. 

Jude with the great ball for the Brazilian. But he was a tad offside. 

Inigo had caught him inside the box. However, the offside ruled everything out. 

5 minutes of injury time added. 

Dani Olmo's curling corner missed everyone and hit the far post. It could have gone into the goal easily. 

Rudiger fouls Olmo again. Barcelona ask for a yellow card, not given. 

Free-kick from a dangerous position for Barcelona. 

Good from the youngster, who came running to win the ball back from Garcia. He tells the Barcelona fans to cheer more.

Yellow card for Gerrard Martin for a bad foul. 

Goal from Jude Bellingham. But he was offside, as Ceballos found him inside the box. 

Yellow card for Tchouaméni for a bad foul on Dani Olmo, who is down on the ground.

Excellent from Cubarsi, who came running from behind to block an attempted pass from Vinicius. 

Yellow card for Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti for dissent. 

Real Madrid, with their first attack of the match, had Fran Garcia on the left of the box, went for a shot. 

Kounde came in running to make a great block. 

Raphinha with a curling free-kick and Kounde's header was on target. 

Courtois had to jump high to make a decent save. 

Lamine Yamal from the left of the box, tried a shot with his left foot. 

The shot along the ground missed the far post by a whisker. 

Brilliant from Olmo to win the ball in the half and send a long ball for Raphinha to make a run.

Ferran Torres nearly met Raphinha's cross. 

A call for a penalty was shouted, but the VAR denied it. 

Barcelona are looking to play a few one-two inside the box before making the final move.

But Real Madrid have lots of men inside the box to tackle that. 

The teenager pipped over Garcia to enter the final third and then nutmegged Rudiger to win the corner for Barcelona. 

Fran Garcia replaces injured Mendy. Such a shame for a player like him. He was coming from an injury, and Real Madrid lost their left back early in the game. 

Mendy is not looking good. Looks like he will be changed. 

He had a tussle with Kounde, and he is down on the ground. 

Barcelona keeping the high line and looking for chances at the front. 

Raphinha and Ferran had two good chances, but without Lewandowski, they need a man at the top to show them the path.

Ferran Torres from the close range made a good cutback, but Tchouaméni was there to intercept. 

FC Barcelona had the early chance of making a good run on the left. But he decided to send a pass across the turf. 

Rudiger cleared that out. 

Barcelona start the match in their maroon and blue. 

We are now minutes away from the kick-off!

Real Madrid first released a statement that they might think of opting out of the final after the statement of the referee, Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea. Bengoetxea was brought to tears in a press conference after Real Madrid TV released a video highlighting the mistakes of the referee, which brought him insults and trolls from many sections of fans. 

Real Madrid wanted the Federation to change the referee and did not train or visit the pre-match rituals as well. 

However, the Federation stuck to their decision and did not change the officials of the match. Later, Real Madrid stated they want to go ahead with the final.
