Real Madrid have secured their 20th Copa del Rey title with a 2-1 victory over Osasuna in the final on Saturday night.
Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti recalled key men up top in Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior back following their shock 2-0 defeat to Real Sociedad in LaLiga.
Vinicius signaled his return on two minutes after he stormed past two challengers out wide and pulled back for Rodrygo to find the net for a 1-0 advantage.
The mid-table outfit got a chance to go level whereby a smart header from Ante Budimir following a cross caused issues, but Los Blancos goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois ensured a save.
Real enjoyed another opening again from the route of Vinicius who drifted in and cutback for Rodrygo to flick-on for Benzema to hit first-time, but Sergio Herrera tipped behind.
Ancelotti's men lived dangerously later on and saw Abde Ezzalzouli's angled shot loop over Courtois and looked to go over the goal-line, but Dani Carvajal tracked back and cleared.
Madrid nearly doubled their lead in blistering fashion after a tremendous free-kick from way out by David Alaba skipped over the wall and clattered the woodwork following the half-hour mark.
Los Rojilos experienced a huge shift in momentum 12 minutes from the break and levelled when Lucas Toro picked up a deflected cross on the edge of the area and volleyed into the bottom-corner.
The European champions introduced Antonio Rudiger from the bench after a quiet spell and pulled out French international midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni.
Madrid went back ahead in the final 20 minutes as Rodrygo picked up a loose ball from a mis-timed clearance and scooped over Herrera.
Los Blancos targeted a third goal ten minutes later when Rodrygo's delivery into the box spotted the head of Alaba, but the veteran hit the roof of the net.
A few openings did fall the way of Ancelotti's men as the clock ticked away, but they had already done enough for the win and clinched their first Copa del Rey crown since the 2013/2014 season.
