Seems like someone had a few too many.
Dropped the bloody trophy from the top of the bus which the driver,( possibly from Barca), promptly ran over.

About the only interesting action in the whole evening.

A Barca man driving the Real Madrid team bus? You kidding???

Well done Real and the Special One, though the match itself was a bit of a let-down especially for the neutrals and notable only for an excess of childish behaviour and handbags at five paces.

Not sure if they'd drunk themselves silly when they dropped the trophy from the top of the bus, but the driver completed the job by promptly running it over.

Must be the shortest time in history that the winners have held on to the trophy.

As a "neutral" (fan of Mallorca, maybe their current shape is why I am easily pleased

) I found this Classico more entertaining than the one in Madrid last Saturday. Real dominating the first half, Barça dominating the second one, extra-times where the tension compensates for the lack of pretty football. I liked it.

Pretty ironic that they win their first Copa del Rey in 18 years and then drop it in the middle of the celebration parade

Sergio Ramos indeed probably had too much booze (although, in all seriousness, that thing did look pretty heavy!)

Would they repair it or simply have a replica made now?

The "replica" cup was the one under the bus (logic..are you going to let a bunch men + serious amounts of cava+ adrealin+ drugs of choice...trusted with an item of value?)

Actually I think it was the original - according to last night's news, the replica is on display while the original is being mended!

Logic doesn't apply here, you should know that!

Poor Sergio Ramos will now always be remembered for dropping the cup,
