When did Real Madrid last lose the Copa del Rey final?
Real Madrid, with a storied past of trophies and final appearances, has not enjoyed an especially favorable record in Copa del Rey finals. In fact, the club has been on the losing side more times than victorious, with a record of 19 defeats against 20 wins in finals.
The most recent loss came in 2013, a year before the team would lift the trophy again. In that final, Real Madrid fell 1-2 to Atlético Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu, with the game extending into extra time. Madrid opened the scoring through a goal from Cristiano Ronaldo, only for Diego Costa to level matters and push the contest into an extra period at 1-1.
During extra time, a contentious moment involving João Miranda and a head clash decided the outcome, aiding Atlético Madrid in securing the title and breaking a fourteen-year run without a win against Real Madrid in direct clashes.
