Cristiano Ronaldo’s brilliant header to win the Copa del Rey

In the latest installment of the never-ending series of Clasicos, Cristiano Ronaldo executed an utterly perfect header in the first period of extra time to give Real Madrid a 1-0 win over Barcelona and its first Copa del Rey since 1993.

Though Ronaldo's goal was pure class, Real's win was a total team effort. Jose Mourinho's tactics and Iker Casillas' hands withstood the overwhelming onslaught of Barcelona's attack, and after so many close calls on both ends of the pitch, Madrid came out of it with a nice bit of silverware. And yet another victory for The Special One, who wins the first trophy available to him since going to Spain.
