Cristiano Ronaldo wins Copa del Rey


Cristiano Ronaldo headed home the winner in extra time as Real Madrid ended an 18-year Copa del Rey trophy drought with a 1-0 victory over biggest rival Barcelona on Wednesday.

Ronaldo guided Angel Di Maria's 103rd-minute pass back across goal and past the outstretched hand of goalkeeper Jose Manuel Pinto into the top corner as Madrid won silverware for the first time since a 2007 Spanish league title.

"It was a very tough game, Barcelona played very well, but, as you know, whoever scores wins," Ronaldo said. "We are very happy, Madrid had not won this cup for many years."
