SEVILLE, Spain (AP) — Barcelona beat Real Madrid 3-2 in extra time to claim a record-extending 32nd Copa del Rey title on Saturday and launch its bid for a treble.

Pedri González scored from long range to give Barcelona the lead in the 28th minute at La Cartuja Stadium.

Kylian Mbappé came off the bench at halftime and scored from a free kick for Real Madrid in the 70th. Midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni headed Madid in front in the 77th.

But Ferran Torres leveled in the 84th and forced extra time.

Jules Koundé then pounced on a pass by Brahim Díaz and slotted a shot into the low corner of Thibaut Courtois’ net for the 116th-minute winner.

Barcelona will carry this momentum into Wednesday’s start of its Champions League semifinal against Inter Milan. It also leads La Liga by four points over Madrid.
