# Real Madrid beat Barcelona to win Copa del Rey: Spanish media reaction
## Cristiano Ronaldo, Jose Mourinho and Real Madrid hailed by the Spanish
media after 1-0 win in Copa del Rey delivered the club their first domestic
cup in 18 years.
![][1]
Top of the world: Real MAdrid won their first domestic trophy in 18 years
against Barcelona
11:47AM BST 21 Apr 2011
[Comments][2]
Writing for _AS_,** Juanma Trueba **declared the result a**[ 'triumph of faith
and strength'][3]**
"It is very likely that last night we witnessed the final of the future," he
writes. "A game so far ahead of its time, an extreme representation of the
combination of physical prowess and tactics - a sublime version of the game.
"Tense, beautiful, stressful, crazy and sane - this was the final full of
alternatives. The first half was all Madrid, they put the pressure on far
earlier than in last weekend's Clasico - it was a fierce attack on enemy
territory. Every attempt for Barca to get the ball became a daunting task -
and usually went unfinished. Khedira, Cristiano and Di Maria excelled while
Messi sank in a sea of legs. Barcelona desperately needed the kind of striker
that could penetrate Madrid's airspace - even Messi was impotent to stop it.
"At the end, Real were glorious. Time to takeaway years of disappointment.
Real Madrid is back at last thanks to the hand of Mourinho, his style and his
faith."
Under the headline,[ **'The final of excellence',**][4] **Ramon Besa** of _El
Pais_ wrote: "It really was a game of two halves. The first belonged to Real
represented by Pepe and the second to Barcelona symbolised by Messi. But
matching all of this was Ronaldo's deciding moment when he headed in late in
injury time.

"Madrid played like the Templars with unshakeable faith in Mourinho and ready
to deny Barca - which they did admirably. Mou's plan was so perfect and for
the first time, Guardiola's side were lacking in passes and delivery -
overwhelmed by the stage and presence of an imperial adversary.
"Unlike Madrid, Barcelona's game is not based on force but on intelligence.
Their secret is the speed of the game, Barca's football is pointless when the
leather runs slowly.
"Finally the collective vitality and punch of Real paid off and Guardiola was
defeated for the first time in a final - it was also Pep's first defeat
against Real after five wins and one draw. Perhaps it was no coincidence that
yesterday was a year since Barca's defeat to Inter in the Champions League."
Besides the dropping of the trophy and the fist win over Barcelona in six
games, _Marca_ focuses on winning **[goalscorer Cristiano Ronaldo][11]. **
**Emilio Contreras** writes: "Ronaldo has entered the history books at Real
Madrid having scored the winning goal that secured the club a title that had
eluded them for 18 years. The Mestalla was the night the club had longed for,
as had the Portuguese striker - his goal winning their first title against the
eternal rivals. And on top of that a goal record.
His header at Valencia's stadium will be one Ronaldo never forgets as it takes
him to his own personal record of 43 this season surpassing his 42 for
Manchester United in 2007-08."
__Marca's__ front page read:** '[Champions!'][12] **splashing photos of the
triumphant team holding the Cup and players throwing Mourinho into the air.
"Cristiano changes history," said the paper. "A fantastic header by Ronaldo in
extra time ends a no-holds-barred, almost ferocious final."
Catalan daily _Sport _showed a picture of the defeated Barcelona under a
headline:** "Now to get even in the Champions".**
"It was not to be. Barca were left without the Cup but, as the saying goes,
destiny always offers a second chance. Pep Guardiola's team will have a chance
to compensate for their setback in the Mestalla in the next two weeks in the
Champions League.
