Real Madrid won the last Copa del Rey under Carlo Ancelotti in the 2013-14 season. After leaving Real's charge in 2015, the Madrid giants were deprived of this special domestic trophy despite being champions of the league and Europe.

After visiting Bayern Munich, Napoli and Everton, the Italian coach returned to Real Madrid and lost the 9-year regret of Los Blancos.

Real Madrid beat Osasuna 2-1 in the Copa del Rey final on Saturday night. And that's how Vinicius-Benzema got the taste of the desired title of Spain.

Real Madrid won the Copa title 20 times with this. The third team in the list of Copa del Rey champions despite being champions 20 times.

Barcelona is at the top of this list by winning a record 31 times. Athletic Bilbao is second in the list after winning the Copa del Rey 23 times, despite not doing well in La Liga.

Although Real Madrid (35) is far ahead of Barcelona (26) in winning the Spanish Premier Division or La Liga, their biggest rival in Spanish and European football, Barcelona, always dominates the domestic trophy. So after winning the Copa del Rey, the excitement is a little high among the players and supporters of Real.

Coach Ancelotti also showed this enthusiasm on Saturday. After the match, he shared joy with the audience for some time. On the way back to the dressing room, he was seen expressing his excitement several times with the journalists.

Real Madrid's chances of winning the league this season are over. In the final of the Spanish Super Cup, they lost to the arch-rivals Barcelona and their dreams of the title were shattered. However, Real is still doing well in the Champions League. They will face Manchester City next Tuesday.

A Copa del Rey victory brought relief to the Santiago Bernabeu from missing out on almost all domestic trophies this season.
