SEVILLE, Spain (AP) --- Barcelona beat Real Madrid 3-2 in extra time to claim a
record-extending 32nd Copa del Rey title on Saturday and launch its bid for a
treble.
Pedri Gonzlez scored from long range to give Barcelona the lead in the 28th
minute at La Cartuja Stadium.
Kylian Mbapp came off the bench at halftime and scored from a free kick for
Real Madrid in the 70th. Midfielder Aurlien Tchouamni headed Madid in front
in the 77th.
But Ferran Torres leveled in the 84th and forced extra time.
Jules Kound then pounced on a pass by Brahim Daz and slotted a shot into the
low corner of Thibaut Courtois' net for the 116th-minute winner.
Barcelona will carry this momentum into Wednesday's start of its Champions
League semifinal against Inter Milan. It also leads La Liga by four points over
Madrid.
