Ferland Mendy's early departure from the Copa del Rey final due to injury proved to be a significant moment in a thrilling match between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
After just 8 minutes on the pitch, the left-back—recently recovered from a hamstring injury—was forced off with another muscular problem, leaving Fran GarcÃa to step in.
The drama continued as Barcelona emerged victorious in a hard-fought battle, winning 3-2 after extra time. Barcelona's goals came from Pedri in the 28th minute, Ferran Torres in the 84th, and Jules Kounde during the 116th. Real Madrid's fightback saw Kylian Mbappe score in the 70th minute, followed by Aurelien Tchouameni in the 77th.
This victory marked Barcelona's 32nd Copa del Rey title and added another layer of tension to one of football's fiercest rivalries. With Mendy's injury and Real Madrid's loss, this result raises questions about the team's preparation for their next fixtures.
