In a clash of styles, where Real Madrid appealed at key moments of the match to the "hand" conservative coach Jose Mourinho, the club merengue remained with the King's Cup by beating the minimum score for Barcelona.
The only goal of the finals was the work of Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo, at 103 minutes, leaving the meringues with their Copa del Rey number 18 in its history.
In the match played at the Mestalla stadium in Valencia, Real came out ready to Barcelona do not leave your game, and disarmed the "Blaugrana" in the first half.
In the second 45 minutes, Pep Guardiola's team was reassembled, but not enough to define the match in regulation time.
Only in the extension appeared to mark Cristiano Ronaldo head, culminating in a move to Angel Di Maria Marcelo.
The Madrid broke and with a drought copera: not won the title since 1993. For Barcelona, it remains the consolation that still has 2 games, corresponding to the semifinals of the Champions League, to take revenge of this defeat.
In addition, for comfort of goal remains the "King of Hearts" in Spain with 25 titles and 9 runners-up. And in the league, have a distance of 8 points against their archrivals, almost unattainable, and that have the title of the season almost in the pocket.
