<p>Real Madrid are Copa del Rey champions.</p><br><p>Nine years since their last, <em>Los Blancos</em> have the Copa back in their possession after beating Osasuna 2-1 in a pulsating final at La Cartuja. Join Matt Clark (@MattClark_08) and Thom Harris (@ThomHarris_) to review the showpiece in Seville, which saw a fifth winner of the competition in as many seasons.</p><br><p>We talk about the key protagonists of the game, including Vini Jr, Rodrygo and Dani Carvajal.</p><br><p>Vini showed his blistering best and his frustrating worst at times in this game, and we evaluate whether this can be resolved before it costs him or his team dearly.</p><br><p>In Part Two we analyse what this triumph means to the club and to Carlo Ancelotti. Real become the first Spanish side to win 100 trophies, 10% of which have been won under the affable Italian.</p><br><p>Before we're done we salute Osasuna on a proud and persistent performance, and then look ahead briefly to the huge European semi-finals this week.</p><br><p>Follow us @LaLigaLowdown and subscribe to our Substack at&nbsp;<a href="http://lllonline.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">lllonline.substack.com</a>.</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
