In the 116th minute, Kounde played the hero with a powerful low shot from outside the penalty area, finding the back of the net against Real Madrid. This decisive goal secured a 3-2 victory for the Catalan team after 120 minutes of play and lifted the Copa del Rey trophy.

On social media, fans showered Kounde with praise for his moment of brilliance. One comment read: "I can't believe this was a defender's shot." Another said: "One of the best right-backs in Europe right now is Kounde." Yet another remarked: "Brahim Diaz lost the ball incredibly in midfield, all because Kounde seized the opportunity so quickly."

In addition to scoring, Kounde made 6 timely interventions, won 4 challenges, had a 92% passing accuracy rate, 2 shots on target, and 3 accurate long passes.

The player rating website Sofascore gave Kounde a score of 8.3, the highest on the field. He had a more effective performance than both Lamine Yamal and Pedri, the other goalscorers for Barcelona. On the Real Madrid side, Kylian Mbappe and Aurelien Tchouameni were the goalscorers for "Los Blancos".

The Copa del Rey is Barcelona's second title of the season, following the Spanish Super Cup. Back in January, Hansi Flick's team also defeated Real Madrid 4-0 in the Super Cup match.

Both teams will continue their El Clásico rivalry in La Liga on May 11th at Barcelona's home stadium.

Yamal caused a sensation again on the day Barcelona defeated Atletico Madrid. In the early hours of April 3rd, Yamal helped Barca beat Atletico Madrid 1-0 in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final, after a 4-4 draw in the first leg.
