Lamine Yamal posed with the Copa del Rey trophy alongside his parents and younger brother after helping Barcelona secure a thrilling 3–2 extra-time victory over Real Madrid on April 26, 2025, at Estadio de La Cartuja in Seville. 
The young forward shared heartfelt moments with his family during the celebrations, highlighting the emotional significance of the night. His father, Mounir Nasraoui, was also seen proudly holding the trophy, underlining the family's pride in Yamal’s achievements.
Barcelona took the lead in the first half through Pedri, who scored a stunning goal to put them ahead. Real Madrid responded after the break, with Kylian Mbappé, coming off the bench, equalizing with a brilliant free-kick, marking his first ever career goal from a direct free-kick. Shortly after, Aurélien Tchouaméni headed in from a corner to give Madrid a 2–1 advantage.
However, Barcelona fought back as Ferran Torres equalized late in the second half, forcing extra time. In the 116th minute, Jules Koundé intercepted a loose pass from Luka Modrić and scored the decisive goal to seal the victory for Barcelona.
The match was not without controversy. A potential penalty for Barcelona was overturned by VAR, and Real Madrid’s Antonio Rüdiger was shown a red card from the bench for aggressively confronting the referee.
Lamine Yamal played a crucial role in the final, providing two key assists and further enhancing his growing reputation. Barcelona’s victory adds to manager Hansi Flick’s impressive first season at the club, where they remain in contention for a treble, still competing in La Liga and the Champions League.
