Barcelona Scarf - 2011 Copa del Rey

The Copa del Rey final on April 20, 2011, at the La Cartuja Stadium in Seville was one of the most tense and intense Clásicos in recent Spanish football history. Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona—at the height of its absolute dominance of European football, with the 2009 and 2011 Champions League titles as milestones of an unrepeatable era—faced José Mourinho’s Real Madrid in a duel that transcended sports to become a clash of philosophies, styles, and personalities. Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal in extra time gave Madrid a 1-0 victory, in what was one of the few titles that Mourinho snatched from Guardiola’s Barça during that era of Blaugrana dominance. For the Culé collector, a commemorative scarf from that final is a document of one of the most remembered Clásicos of the modern era, played on neutral ground in the Andalusian capital.
