What could have been an exceptional night for Barcelona youngster Bartra turned into something very sour in less than 20 minutes. Angel Di Maria's 4th minute goal saw the Catalans fall behind during a large portion of the game.
However, Bartra fired his side back into the game with an unstoppable header. Iker Casillas was left stunned at this equalizer from an unlikely goalscorer. From there, Real Madrid were forced to defend but a counter-attacking move resulted in Gareth Bale's 85th minute match winner.
The Welshman exhibited the full capacity of his speed, leaving Bartra behind and Pinto helpless in post. (Watch Bale's golazo again). Inevitably, the following memes went viral after Los Blancos went past the Blaugrana to lift the 2013/14 Copa del Rey title.
