After a first half completely dominated by Barcelona, where the extraordinary Pedri took advantage to give the Catalans the lead, Kylian Mbappé appeared to change the game’s momentum. The French forward, in addition to drawing a free-kick with his speed, made the most of the opportunity to score his first-ever free-kick goal in a Copa del Rey final.

In a deadly counterattack, where Real Madrid exploited the speed of Mbappé and Vinícius, the Barcelona defense had no choice but to commit a foul in favor of the Madrid side. After some exchanges between Arda Güler, Luka Modrić, and Kylian Mbappé, it was the Frenchman who stepped up to take the free-kick.

The atmosphere before the shot was filled with tension from the Barcelona side, who were desperately trying to stop the attacking force. With a powerful right-footed strike, Mbappé sent the ball towards the near post of Wojciech Szczęsny, and after a rebound, the ball eventually found the back of the net, igniting the celebration for the Madrid team.

With this stunning goal, Mbappé not only scored his first free-kick goal but also stamped his name in the history of the Copa del Rey, in a final that will be remembered by all.
