It's the best possible start for Ancelotti's men in the final in La Cartuja after Rodrygo pokes home from close range. Nightmare for Osasuna now, who'll have to pick themselves up quickly.

There was no time to breathe in the opening stages of the Copa del Rey final 2023, with Real Madrid rushing into the lead. 

It all started when Vinicius was released down the wing, with the Brazilian weaving his way down the left flank, beating Pena into the box.

He then squared it to a Rodrygo who was lying in wait to smash it home for 1-0, leaving the fans from Pamplona silenced after just two minutes.

So, it's the dream start for Madrid, but a nightmare one for Osasuna, who will have to pick themselves up and quickly. Find out how things pan out here.
