Barcelona wins Copa del Rey final

Barcelona provided Pep Guardiola with the perfect sendoff by routing Athletic Bilbao 3-0 in the Copa del Rey final tonight, the club's 14th trophy in four seasons under its most successful coach.

Fans filling the 55,000-seat Calderon Stadium were united moments before the start as Catalan and Basque spectators jeered the playing of the Spanish anthem, just as they did in Valencia three years ago when Barcelona's 4-1 win over Bilbao provided Guardiola with his first title.

Pedro Rodriguez scored in the third and 25th minutes, and Lionel Messi ended his record-setting season with his 73rd goal in the 20th minute. The Catalan club demonstrated the virtues the marked Guardiola's four seasons in charge -- quick-touching passing, intricate combinations and clinical finishing.

CARLOS PUYOL DOES A 'JOHN TERRY'

The most shocking part of the event came after the game ..... when Carlos Puyol and David Villa both took to the pitch in full Barcelona strip to celebrate with the trophy ........... OMG ....... they hadn't even played !!

WHEN WILL THIS MADNESS END ? ............................ WHAT HAS JOHN TERRY STARTED ?
Unless he wasn't the first footballer in the history of the beautiful game to have ever done that after a final ... Hmmmm
