Copa del Rey final: Ancelotti names 2 Real Madrid players at fault for Barcelona winner

Published on April 27, 2025 at 11:19 AM

Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti, has has claimed small margins cost them in their 3-2 defeat to Barcelona in Saturday's Copa del Rey final.

Los Blancos fought back from a goal to take the lead, thanks to second half goals from substitute Kylian Mbappe and Aurelien Tchouameni.

But Ferran Torres scored a late equalizer to drag the game to extra time in Seville.

Just as both sidesappearedset for penalties, Jules Kounde pounced on a mistake to fire in the winner.

Ancelotti has now admitted that a mix-up between captain Luka Modric and Brahim Diaz was the trigger for Kounde’s clincher.

“Was it Modric’s mistake or Brahim’s? Brahim thought Luka would have played the pass to feet and not in front,”; Ancelotti said as per reports from Marca.

“Kounde then shoots low and hard into the goal. These are small details that sometimes cost you nothing, and other times they cost you a lot.

“We have two days to rest now. Then we will prepare for two important games against Celta Vigo and Barcelona.”
