It turned out to be a walk in the park for Barcelona after a complicated first half, and with that win, Los Blaugranas made history against their bitter rival.
Ernesto Valverde's team survived a slow start of the game, especially due to Vinicius' lack of accuracy in front of goal, keeping themselves alive thanks to Los Blancos' misses and Marc-André Ter Stegen's impressive display.
Even so, Luis Suárez's brace and an own goal by Varane helped Barcelona a sixth consecutive Copa del Rey final, something that no other team in Spain had ever accomplished.

Barcelona has also won 24 straight two-legged ties in this competition, something that evidently, no team had ever done before.
"This is how you dignify the Cup. We will never see something like this again, you can bet your bottom dollar on it."

If that was not a good enough reason to take the cork off the bubbly, Barcelona also managed to level things in the all-time Clásico tally.
