​Rodrygo scored the winner from close range in the Copa del Rey final between Real Madrid and Osasuna. The Brazilian was on hand to fire the winner from close range after Toni Kroos' shot deflected into his path. Osasuna had their chances as they chased a first major trophy in their 103-year history, but were denied a stoppage-time equaliser when Dani Carvajal produced a last-ditch block to keep out Kike Barja's side-footed effort. Real had more shots on target than Los Rojillos, but Carlo Ancelotti's side were ultimately more clinical in front of goal. Real now turn their attention to Tuesday's Champions League semi-final first leg against Manchester City. Osasuna fans had travelled in large numbers and painted the city of Seville red in anticipation of Saturday's La Liga final, but it could not have started any worse on the field. Vinicius Jr, who returned to the Real starting XI as Ancelotti made five changes to the side that lost at Real Sociedad, proved to be a constant threat down the left. Karim Benzema forced Sergio Herrera into a smart save, but Jagoba Arrasate's side began to grow into the game and could have equalised a minute later. Abde Ezzalzouli beat Thibaut Courtois but could not guide his chipped effort on target. Torro's controlled finish from outside the area sent the red half of the stadium into delirium. After the break, Torro's controlled finish from outside the area sent the red half of the stadium into delirium. With the La Liga title seemingly heading to Barcelona, Ancelotti's side will enjoy their celebrations before turning their attention to the Champions League. The holders will be hoping to welcome back Luka Mod​
