The match itself was an intense affair. Barcelona initially took the lead thanks to a stunning strike from Pedri, but Real Madrid fought back in the second half.

Kylian Mbappe and Aurelien Tchouameni scored in quick succession to put Los Blancos 2-1 up.

However, Barcelona wasn't ready to give up and equalised in the 84th minute through Ferran Torres, sending the game into extra time.

With penalties looming, it was Jules Kounde who emerged as the hero, scoring the decisive goal in the 116th minute to seal Barcelona's victory.

The match was marred by an incident involving Antonio Rudiger, who received a red card after exchanging words with officials off the field.

Yamal leads dressing room celebrations

In the dressing room after the match, the celebrations were nothing short of jubilant.

Yamal, who had an outstanding performance with two assists during the match, led the charge in the post-game festivities.

His energetic dance moves and lively music set the tone, with his teammates joining in the fun.

Barcelona are firmly in contention for a treble this season, marking a potential dream start for Hansi Flick as manager.

Under his guidance, the Catalan giants have rediscovered their form, becoming one of Europe's most formidable teams once again.

Yamal throws shade at Real Madrid

Meanwhile, Yamal believes Real Madrid simply can't handle Barcelona this season.

Speaking after Barça's dramatic comeback to defeat their fierce rivals in the Copa del Rey final on Saturday, Yamal highlighted that this victory marked their third win over Madrid this season, following a 4-0 La Liga triumph at the Bernabéu in October and a 5-2 Spanish Supercopa final victory in January.

The two sides will meet once more in the league on May 11.

“I said to [Barça defender] Ronald [Araújo] when we were speaking in the hotel earlier: ‘If they score one goal, no problem,'” Yamal told reporters.

“If they score two goals? No problem. They cannot handle us this year — we have shown it.”
