Bad Luck Real...Kings Cup Goes to Barcelona

In what was probably the most dramatic and tense finals in the history of the Copa Del Rey, Barcelona have claimed their 2nd trophy of the season defeating main rivals Real Madrid in a painful penalty shootout.

Despite looking the goods early on, Real Madrid as they have done all season long - failed to close out the game, conceding once again moments before halftime to a rather opportunistic goal from Brazil's Neymar, after earlier taking the lead through a wonderful Ronaldo finish of his own.

From there the game got awefully tense, neither side willing to concede the next goal. And so the dreaded penalties awaited after 120 mins of action packed football. And it was Real who felt the most pressure - unable to convert any of their three opening goal attempts. Barca banged away all three.

The victory gives Barcelona a special Spanish Double, after already clinching the La Liga title 24 hours earlier.

"Congratulations to SB and Barcelona." JM said after the game, bitterly disappointed.
"I believe we deserved better than this result. But its been a cruel season til the end."

Barcelona Boss SB had little to say after the game - instead he chose to just celebrate with his team of Champions long into the night. Congratulations Barcelona.
