Madrid edge Osasuna for 20th Copa del Rey title

Rodrygo struck twice as Real Madrid beat Osasuna 2-1 on Saturday to win their 20th Copa del Rey title and first since 2014.

Rodrygo scored the opener early with a close-range strike after brilliant individual play by Vinicius but Lucas Torro equalised 13 minutes after the break with a low shot from the edge of the penalty area.

Rodrygo, however, scored the winner in the 70th minute, tapping in a loose ball inside the box after a Toni Kroos shot was deflected off a defender.

"I'm really, really happy. We talked this week about how it had been a long time since Madrid won this competition and I personally was lacking it too," Rodrygo said. "I scored two goals.... uffff, it's a very special night for me."

"I always said I wanted this one, because it was the one I was missing. But I want more, a lot more. This competition is special and today I saw that."

With the Copa del Rey in hand, Madrid will host Manchester City on Tuesday in the first leg of their Champions League semifinal.

Since winning their last Copa del Rey nine years ago, the 14-time European Cup winners had won four Champions Leagues while falling short in the Spanish cup.

That changed on Saturday, when they defeated an Osasuna that was seeking their first major title in club history after also losing their only other Copa del Rey final in 2005. Madrid's 20 Copa del Rey titles are behind only Barcelona (31) and Athletic Bilbao (23).
