The Catalan Mossos d'Esquadra police arrested two people accused of public disorder in Barcelona during celebrations for FC Barcelona's Copa del Rey victory over Real Madrid in the early hours of Sunday.

Around 2,700 people gathered at the Canaletes fountain in La Rambla to party after Barça won 3-2 in Spain's Copa del Rey final held in Seville on Saturday night.

After a Barça victory, it is tradition for culés to party in Canaletes.

Local Guàrdia Urbana police started to evacuate all celebrations around 4:00 am, and around 4:30 am, the two arrested started throwing bottles at police.

3-2

Despite a tie that took the game to extra time, Barça won the final in the last 10 minutes of the game. Hansi Flick's team drew 2-2 during the first 90 minutes, but a goal by Koundé put an end to the final when there were five minutes left in the game.

Barça player Pedri scored the first goal of the night during the first half of the game. The Catalan team led the match until the second half, when Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappé and Aurélien Tchouaméni scored two goals in quick succession. Ferran Torres scored the tying goal in minute 83.
