Real Madrid defeated Osasuna 2-1 in the Copa del Rey final of 2023 at the Estadio de La Cartuja to win the trophy for the first time since 2014. With a valiant performance against Osasuna, Carlo Ancelotti’s team won their first major title of the year ahead of a midweek Champions League semifinal matchup against Manchester City.
Los Blancos appeared to be headed for a comfortable night in Andalucia after Rodrygo Goes’ quickfire opening, but Jagoba Arrasate’s underdogs put a lot of pressure on them.
Following a shot by Toni Kroos that rebounded into his path, the Brazilian was there to score the game-winning goal from close range. After 106 seconds, Rodrygo scored the quickest goal in a Spanish Cup final in 17 years, giving Real the early advantage. But in the 70th minute, Rodrygo scored the game-winning goal by tapping in a loose ball inside the area after Toni Kroos’ attempt had been deflected off a defender.

When Lucas Torro equalised, Osasuna, who was competing in their second Copa del Rey final, had threatened an upset. Osasuna was rightfully pushed back into the game by Lucas Torro’s thunderbolt in the second half, but Rodrygo maintained his composure once again inside the box to help Real Madrid cross the finish line.
With approximately 25,000 supporters cheering them on inside the Estadio de La Cartuja, Osasuna had a chance to win their first major prize in 103 years. They were denied an equaliser in stoppage time as Dani Carvajal made a desperate block to halt Kike Barja’s sidefooted attempt.
The Little Reds, or Los Rojillos, had five more shots on goal than Real did, but Carlo Ancelotti’s team was ultimately more ruthless in front of goal. Real’s victory earns them their 20th Copa del Rey championship, and they are now focused on the first leg of their Champions League semifinal against Manchester City on Tuesday.
