June 11, 2005 – this is the date of the last Copa del Rey final with Osasuna Pamplona. Then the club from the north of Spain lost 1-2 in extra time to Real Betis, noting one of the greatest successes in history. Now, Osasuna is back in the final of the domestic cup following knocking out Athletic Bilbao following extra time in the semi-finals. The rival was one of the toughest and biggest rivals, i.e. Real Madrid, who wanted to win this competition for the 20th time in history.
Real wins the Copa del Rey. But Osasuna showed a claw
Real Madrid started the match as best they might, scoring in the second minute. The goal action was started by Vinicius, cheating one of the defenders and entering the penalty area. The Brazilian, however, did not shoot, and passed to Rodrygo, who tricked the defenders and Osasuna’s goalkeeper with a clever shot. Then the less reputable team tried to equalize, among others. thanks to crosses on Ante Budimir. In the 25th minute, Ez Abde might have scored a huge mistake by Eder Militao, but his lob flew into the goal was blocked by Dani Carvajal.
Real Madrid also had their chances in the first half, while one of Karim Benzema’s saves was saved by Sergio Herrera, and David Alaba’s free-kick landed on the crossbar. There was no shortage of nervousness and jostling, even from Vinicius, who was indignant at Osasuna’s fouls. After one of the situations, the Brazilian saw a yellow card. There were also provocations towards Vinicius, for example from David Garcia, who began to rub his head. He did not receive a yellow card for this behavior.
In the second part of the meeting, Real seemed to play a bit more economically to bring the minimal lead to the end and not to tire before the match once morest Manchester City. Osasuna wanted to take advantage of this, starting e.g. more often from own goal. These actions bore fruit in the 58th minute when Lucas Torro struck from outside the penalty area and leveled Thibaut Courtois. Much of the blame for the goal action can be credited to Federico Valverde, who failed to block this shot.
It seemed that Osasuna would follow the blow, but it was Real who delivered the decisive blow. Vinicius ran down the left wing in the 70th minute and wanted to play for Benzema or Rodrygo. David Garcia kicked the ball clumsily from his own penalty area. Then Toni Kroos’ shot deflected in such a way that Rodrygo easily beat the goalkeeper and gave Real the lead once more. In the end, the result did not change, so Ancelotti’s players might enjoy winning the 20th Copa del Rey in history.
Now before Real Madrid are crucial matches in the Champions League, where they will play in the semi-finals once morest Manchester City. The first leg of this tie will take place on Tuesday, May 9.
