'They simply can't beat us' - Lamine Yamal aims brutal taunt to rub salt in Real Madrid's wounds after Barcelona's Copa del Rey final triumph

Barca beat Madrid 3-2 in the final on Saturday night. Hansi Flick's side took the lead through Pedri but Kylian Mbappe and Aurelien Tchouameni combined to give Real a 2-1 lead with six minutes to go, before Ferran Torres equalised to force extra time. Jules Kounde then netted a 116th-minute winner, and Real had three players sent off after full-time. Antonio Rudiger attempted to throw ice at the referee and was sent off, while Jude Bellingham and Lucas Vazquez were also dismissed.

Barca have played Real three times this season already and will meet again on May 11, in what could prove to be a pivotal game in the title race, with Barca four points clear at the top of La Liga. Barca won the return fixture 4-0 at the Bernabeu, with Yamal on the scoresheet, and they also won 5-2 in the final of the Supercopa de Espana, with Yamal scoring in that game too. He has now taunted Los Blancos.

After Barca's win over Real, Yamal told reporters: “This year, they simply can’t beat us. We’ve proven that. I’m really happy. Visca Barca!”

Barca face Inter in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final in midweek, as Yamal and Co. go in search of even more silverware.
