Barcelona has taken a step closer to their Treble dream this season via a wild 3-2 Copa del Rey Final victory over Real Madrid.
La Blaugrana fought back against their bright El Clasico rivals, while Jules Kounde took the victory in the dying stages of Extra Time.
That caused scenes of anger on the Real Madrid bank, sent with three players and the potential incoming for multiple suspensions.
As Barcelona celebrated, Hansi Flick quickly focused his attention on the next step in the season, because the Barcelona schedule remains full.
Flick secured the Spanish Super Cup at the beginning of 2025, with a victory over Real Madrid in Saudi Aarabia, but the Copa del Rey is his first big title in the club.
The former boss of Bayern Munich is on course for a Treble in his debut campaign, with a healthy lead on Los Blancos in the title race and a place in the Semi final of the UEFA Champions League.
Barcelona are four points free of the title defender of Carlo Ancelotti with five games to play and they organize Inter Milan in the first stage of the Champions League on April 30.
“There are two more games to reach the point of winning the Champions League, but today was fantastic”, according to quotes from Marca.
“It was a great atmosphere. I am very happy that I can celebrate a huge victory against Real Madrid with my team, and it gives us confidence to continue and win more.”
Flick will balance his team in the run-in, with an important date in the diary at home on Real Madrid on 11 May, who must decide whether the title stays in Madrid or goes to Catalonia.
When Flick navigates past Inter Milan, Barcelona will be confronted with former boss Luis Enrique and PSG or Mikel Arteta's Arsenal in the final in Munich.
