Copa del Rey final goes to ET after Barca have late penalty overturned
Barcelona's Ferran Torres struck in the 84th minute to send a thrilling Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid to extra time, with the score tied at 2-2 on Saturday.
Pedri fired Barcelona ahead in the first half in Seville, but substitute Kylian Mbappe levelled after 70 minutes and Aurelien Tchouameni headed the Spanish and European champions into the lead after 77 minutes.
The referee, blasted by Real Madrid on Friday for criticising the club television channel's attacks on officials, awarded Barcelona a 96th-minute penalty after Raphinha went down in the box, but changed his mind after reviewing the incident on the VAR screen.
Barcelona are chasing a potential quadruple this season while Real Madrid are hoping to make amends for their Champions League elimination with domestic silverware.
