FC Barcelona and Real Madrid faced off in the highly anticipated 2025 Copa del Rey final, a match already fueled by controversy before kickoff. In the first half, Barcelona star Pedri delivered a brilliant strike to open the scoring in the final.
Although Barcelona dominated possession early, they struggled to create clear scoring opportunities. That changed in the 28th minute when, after recovering the ball, Pedri lofted a pass toward Lamine Yamal. Yamal returned the ball to Pedri at the edge of the box, where the midfielder unleashed a stunning shot, leaving goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois with no chance.
