    Real Madrid are incredibly bad losers. Their head coach José Mourinho was sent off for protesting and Cristiano Ronaldo received a straight red card for kicking Gabi into the face (!!!) with a revenge foul! Everything but a month long ban would be a joke!
     
    For Real Madrid the whole season is over and ended with a huge humilation! Not only did they lose La Liga to their archrivals FC Barcelona but also were they beaten in their own stadium in the Copa del Rey final by their city rivals Atlético Madrid!
     
    Atlético Madrid write history!!!!!! Thanks to an unbelievable performance by their goalkeeper Courtois and showing a lot of passion they beat Real Madrid 2-1 after overtime and win their 10th Copa del Rey!!! The beat Real Madrid for the first time after two decades!

    117
    Gabi (Atlético) now gets a yellow card for the foul against Ronaldo that led to the aggression.
     
    117
    Gabi still receives medical treatment on the pitch. Ronaldo kicked him into the face with his leg! Incredible... this is so disgusting! They should ban him for months!
     
    115
    Atlético goalie Courtois is hit by something on his head. Also the Real fans behave like animals now!

    114
    Brutal check by Arbeloa deep inside the Atlético half. The frustration by Real Madrid is incredibly high!
     
    113
    Last change by Atlético. Koke leaves the pitch for Raúl García. Again a change on the same position, the guests continue with their tactics.
     
    111
    Second change by Atlético. The very tired looking Arda Turan is subsituted by Cristian Rodríguez. A midfielder comes in for a midfielder.
     
    110
    2-on-2 counter for Atlético but Adrián is far too selfish and doesn't give the ball to the right to Falcao, only a corner now for the guests....
     
    109
    Perfect cross-pass from the left side of the 18-yard box for Özil who from five metres distance didn't score into the wide open net but instead Courtois made a absolutely amazing save!!!!!

    106
    First attack by Real after the restart of the game, Filipe Luis just fires the ball out of the dangerous zone.
     
    106
    Start of 2nd overtime.
     
    Atlético played it extremly clever in the first half of the overtime and after a big goalkeeper mistake by Diego López they also went in front through a header by Miranda! Stay tuned for the last 15 minutes!
     
    1st overtime finished.

    103
    Ronaldo with a long dribbling deep inside the Atlético half, has too many opponents still in front of him and gives a pass back to Xabi Alonso whose shot from the second row went over the crossbar without any danger at all.
     
    102
    The free kick was executed by Falcao and went just over the crossbar.
     
    101
    Great dribbling by Diego Costa through half the Real defense but he didn't see Arda Turan on the left side of the area. Michael Essien (Real) fouled him just before the 18-yard box and gets a yellow card now.

    100
    Mario Suárez (Atlético) gets a yellow card for a foul in the midfield.

    Goal for Atlético!

    Incredible!!!!!!! The guests Atlético are in front!!!! After a perfect cross by Koke from the right wing it was Miranda whose header at the right post went past Diego López who waited on the goal line!
     
    98
    Sergio Ramos with a terrible attempt to clear a ball with a sideways scissor-kick at the border of the Real area and Essien with a diving header clears the situation just in the very last moment before Diego Costa would have been through!
     
    97
    The free kick was executed by Özil himself but the ball towards the second post was easily cleared by the Atlético defense.
     
    97
    Godín holds the arms of Özil, gives Real Madrid a good free kick position from the right wing.
     
    95
    Out of the blue Diego Costa has a huge, huge double chance for Atlético! After a perfect through ball by Koke he was far too arrogant by giving the ball just a little tip before he received also the rebound which was blocked again by the Real goalkeeper!
     
    94
    Very slow start into overtime so far.
     
    92
    Diego Costa with an attack over the right wing but his cross-pass found no team mate as Falcao slipped at the border of the 18-yard box.
     
    91
    ... and Higuáin is now on the pitch for the unlucky Benzema. Still no changes for Atlético.
     
    91
    ... Di María is the substitute for Modric...
     
    91
    Triple change by Real Madrid at the start of the overtime! Arbeloa now is the game for Coentrao...
     
    91
    1st overtime began.
     
    Real Madrid were the better side during the second half but failed to use even biggest opportunities, including hitting the goal post twice and not scoring into the wide open net! The match became more and more aggressive and as a consequence Real head coach Mourinho was sent off!

    Stay tuned for overtime!
     
    2nd half finished.
     
    90+4
    Koke with a corner towards the first post, headed out by the defense.
     
    90+3
    Corner from the left side by Atlético!
     
    90+2
    Cristiano Ronaldo (Real) finally is booked for his behaviour on the pitch.
     
    90+1
    Again Ronaldo just hit an opponent without the ball from behind. To be honest this and the foul against Juanfran could have both been red cards for him! Absolutely disgusting behaviour by Ronaldo!
     
    90
    Four minutes are added to the regular time.
     
    90
    Juanfran received attention by the medical staff of Atlético and the guests already prepared a change but Cata Díaz now goes back to the bench as Juanfran tries to continue in this match.
     
    88
    Collision between Juanfran and Ronaldo deep inside the Atlético half. It loks like Juanfran has injured his knee there without contact and then Ronaldo kicked the back of Juanfrans leg. The Portuguese should have been booked for it!
     
    86
    Great effort by Filipe Luis who wins the ball against Essien on the left wing with a great sliding tackle but the referee signals a foul....
     
    84
    Diego Costa was through alone in the 1-on-1 with Real goalkeeper Diego López but he is called back for a possible foul over Sergio Ramos in an aerial duel. Very lucky decision for the home side!
     
    83
    Long pass for Fabio Coentrao on the left wing but he couldn't stop the high ball and his header went out for a goal kick.
     
    81
    Gabi with a foul against Ronaldo in the midfield, both are exchanging some unfriendly words and gestures.
     
    80
    Long free kick cross by the hosts into the gloves of Courtois.
     
    78
    Less than an quarter of an hour left to play in regular time but still no changes on any side. Maybe the head coaches are speculating on a possible overtime already.
     
    76
    José Mourinho protested too much on the side line and is sent off now by the referee! That's it for the Real head coach!
     
    75
    There are a lot of breaks currently and the game is getting a bit more nasty.
     
    74
    Sergio Ramos (Real) is booked for a hard check against Gabi and then hit him in the face while landing on his feet but unintentional.
     
    72
    Mesut Özil (Real) gets a yellow card for boxing the ball towards the assistant referee out of anger about a decision.
     
    71
    Real have everything under their controll now and it looks only like a question of time until they score the next goal!
     
    69
    Diego Costa (Atlético) gets a yellow card for a tactical foul in the midfield.
     
    68
    Ronaldo tried it himself with a free kick. The flat shot went under the wall and hit the left goal post! The chance was not over yet though and the ball came to Essien who fired the ball uncontrolled over the crossbar! Already three times the goal post saved Atlético tonight!
     
    67
    Benzema wins a free kick for Real just in front of the guest area. He tried it with a dribbling past two defenders who only hit him but not the ball.
     
    66
    Dangerous free kick position for Atlético from just left to the Real area. The free kick by Koke towards the first post was headed over the net by Miranda.
     
    64
    Sami Khedira (Real) is booked for a tactical foul in the midfield.
     
    63
    By now the game has changed completely. Real Madrid are playing with a lot of pressure and Atlético have difficulties to defend the 1-1.
     
    61
    Suddenly there are hugh chances by the minute! Benzema hit the left goal post from short distance after a perfect assist by Ronaldo from left to the Atlético net . After the rebound came to him Mesut Özil's shot from a central position – about 13 metres distance – towards the wide open net was cleared by a defender in the very last moment! What a double chande for the home side!
     
    60
    Gabi with a brilliant cross from the right wing and at the left side of the Real area Filipe Luis tried it with a direct volley shot that went just wide past the left post! Best chance of the second half!
     
    58
    Long free kick by Özil from the right wing towards the left bottom corner and Courtois only cleared the ball with big trouble!
     
    57
    Real head coach José Mourinho is not happy with the performance of his team. Higuáin and Di María are warming up.
     
    57
    Godín with a little push from behind against Özil on the right wing, free kick for Real.
     
    56
    By now it's a very similar situation on the pitch as during long parts of the first half – Atlético attacks and Real just waits for counters – but the hosts have no lead anymore.
     
    54
    Fabio Coentrao (Real) sees a yellow card for a tactical foul against Diego Costa in the midfield who almost would have been through alone in front of Diego López. The Portuguese was not sent off though as Ramos was next to him and could have cleared the situation aswell.
     
    52
    Interesting free kick execution by the guests deep inside the Real half. The ball came to the right to Falcao whose flat cross towards the six-yard box was covered up by Diego López just before a forward was able to reach the ball.
     
    51
    Modric with a cross for Khedira from the right side of the Atlético box but the German national team player wasn't able to get a volley shot towards the net.
     
    50
    Gabi with a long through ball to the left side of the Real area towards Filipe Luis whose shot was very harmless and unprecise and thus no danger for Diego López.
     
    49
    Atletíco try to controll the ball in their own half but can't find a hole in the Real defense.
     
    47
    The Real players came very early out of their dressing room and start with a different image in these first minutes of the half.
     
    46
    Start of 2nd half.
     
    In the first half hour it was an intense match in Madrid with very few dangerous situations – the only real chance had been used by Ronaldo after a corner for the Real Madrid lead. Afterwards the guests Atlético found more and more into the game against very passive hosts and were rewarded with the equalizer by Diego Costa. Only then did Real finally invest more and had several good scoring opportunites. Stay tuned for the second half!
     
    1st halftime finished.
     
    45
    Long ball towards the midfield for Falcao, cleared by a defender with a header.
     
    44
    Real are investing more currently and now they also get their chances.
     
    43
    Mesut Özil with an incredible chance to restore the lead for Real Madrid! He takes the ball volley at the border of the Atlético box but only hits the right goal post! Courtois would have never ever reached this shot!
     
    42
    Ronaldo with the ball at the Atlético 18-yard box, gives a pass to the left for Özil who gives a through ball to Ramos but the defender's try to give the ball back to Özil with a back heel was very arrogant and intercepted by the goalkeeper.
     
    41
    Modric with a shot from about 20 metres distance, goes wide past the left post. Only the second scoring attempt by Real Madrid – the other one was their goal.
     
    39
    Nice combination between Falcao, Diego Costa and Arda Turan on the right wing but the Real defense was able to clear the situation.
     
    37
    Arda Turan (Atlético) gets the first yellow card of the game for a very risky attack against Sergio Ramos. He had his leg very high and hit the elbow of Ramos who was lucky he wasn't hit directly into the face.
     
    35
    Goal for Atlético!

    Another through ball by the guests and this time it was perfectly timed. The ball by Falcao from within the midfield ended up just in front of DIEGO COSTA who escaped from the guard by Sergio Ramos and fired the ball from about 18 metres distance into the right bottom corner for the equalizer!
     
    34
    Through ball for Falcao, goes wide.
     
    32
    The throw-in landed in front of the feet of Real player but Atlético are back in ball possession already.
     
    32
    Diego Costa in the duel with Coentrao, wins a throw in on the right outside lane.
     
    31
    Long ball by Arda Turan towards the Real box, intended for Diego Costa, but Diego López left his net and caught the ball.
     
    30
    Corner by Koke from the left side towards the six-yard box, easily caught by Diego López.
     
    30
    Another dangerous free kick position for Atlético, this time from left to the Real area. The cross by Koke was deflected by the Real defense at cost of a corner.
     
    28
    Not really much has happend so far in Madrid. The hosts Real scored with their only shot on goal while Atlético had their only scoring attempt through a distance shot by Gabi that went over the crossbar.Real let Atlético make the play and wait themselves for counters.
     
    27
    Foul by Modric against Mario Suárez in the midfield.
     
    26
    Diego Costa goes past Coentrao on the right wing but his cross lands in the gloves of Diego López...
     
    25
    Long pass by Modric for Ronaldo who started at the center line but the ball was just a little too fast.
     
    23
    Dangerous free kick position for Atlético just right to the Real 18-yard box after a foul by Fabio Coentrao but Ronaldo clears the situaton with a header.
     
    22
    Almost Diego Costa won the ball against the last Real defender who was a bit slow in his ball controll with a sliding tackle...
     
    21
    Arda Turan with a hard entry with his leg up against Essien in the midfield but again no card. The referee allowes a lot so far.
     
    20
    Real finally with some offense again. The Atlético defenders attack them very aggressively but they stay in ball possession deep inside the guests' half.
     
    18
    The second corner by Koke from the left wing also brought no danger and was easily cleared by the Real defense.
     
    18
    Atlético win their first corner of the game which has to be repeated after its execution as Özil stood too close to the corner flag.
     
    17
    Out of the blue Gabi has the first opportunity for Atletico but his shot from about 20 metres distance went one metre over the crossbar!
     
    16
    In the first minutes after the early goal against Atlético continue with their very defensive tactics.
     
    14
    Goal for Real!

    The corner from the right side by Özil came towards the six-yard box from where CRISTIANO RONALDO scored with a header into the left top corner! He pushed Godín a little but not enough for a foul.
     
    13
    Almost an excellent counter opportunity for Real but the last pass is not precise enough and a defender is in between – there will be a corner kick for Real though.
     
    12
    The Real midfield had a lot of trouble to get a high ball under controll at the center line but then Ronaldo received a pass before he went down very easily against Juanfran – no free kick though.
     
    11
    Harmless Real cross from the left wing through Segio Ramos, easily caught by Courtois.

    8
    Ronaldo with a long ball towards the right wing for Essien who had a lot of space but Godin cleared with a sliding tackle at cost of a corner which then brought no danger.

    1
    Game started.
     
    The teams are on the pitch and the national anthem of Spain has been played. The game is about to start.
     
    Starting lineups:

    Real Madrid: D. López – Essien, Albiol, S. Ramos, F. Coentrao – Khedira, X. Alonso – Özil, Modric, C. Ronaldo – Benzema

    Atlético Madrid: Courtois – F. Luis, Godín, Miranda, Juanfran – A. Turan, Gabi, M. Suárez, Koke – Falcao, D. Costa

    Referees: Clos Gómez
     
    It's time for a big football match in Spain once again. This evening Real Madrid receive their city neighbours and archrivals Atlético Madrid for the final of the 2013 Copa del Rey, the Spanish cup competition.

    They way to the finals was not easy for the two teams. Real Madrid beat CD Alcoyano (4-1/3-0), Celta de Vigo (1-2/4-0), Valencia CF (2-0/1-1) and FC Barcelona (1-1/3-1). Their rivals Atlético Madrid faced Real Jaén (3-0/1-0), Getafe CF (3-0/0-0), Real Betis (2-0/1-1) and Sevilla FC (2-1/2-2).

    Real Madrid are the big favourites in this match off course. Not only have they won more Copa del Reys (18x, the last one in 2011 with a 1-0 OT against FC Barcelona) than Atlético Madrid (9x, the last one in 1996, ironically also with a 1-0 OT against FC Barcelona). Even more important Atlético have not won even a single game against Real Madrid since 1992 – a 2-0 success in the Copa del Rey final.

    If Real get the expected win in front of their own fans in the Bernabeu Stadium or if Atlético can get the sensation, we'll see tonight.
     
    Welcome. Game starts at 15:30 EDT / 20:30 GMT / 21:30 CET.
