Mesut Özil and Sami Khedira sat on the lawn of the Estadio Mestalla embraced and blessed the King Cup. A few hours later, the good play was broken. In rapture slipping defender Sergio Ramos, the 15-pound trophy from the hands. From the upper floor of the open-top double-decker bus, the precious pieces splashed on the pavement and was run over by a vehicle weighing several tons.
The accident was just one of many memorable moments in an emotional evening that celebrated the Real 1-0 (0-0, 0-0) win after extra time against arch-rivals FC Barcelona as a redemptive liberation. Hours after the first cup victory in 18 years, the stars made with more than 50,000 supporters at the Cibeles fountain in the Spanish capital the night away - and suddenly longed for all Raul.
"We are not all there - Raul is missing," chanted the fans, and thus provided them with more than just spine-tingling atmosphere. 16 years of the current Schalke striker played for Royal, won almost every title with "his" club. Fast. For only the Spanish Cup in the real icon is missing for a complete collection of titles.
Real prevails again. After 18 years completed the Real Cup curse, "paid homage to the sports daily Marca the Madrilenians, for the first time since 1993 the" Copa del Rey won. "The success of the force and faith," wrote AS. But even in the hour of triumph, players and officials, their eyes were already on the next duels with Barca.
In the semifinals of the Champions League (April 27 and May 3) take the two best teams in Spain each other again. Whether Khedira can participate in the first leg, is questionable. He retired in the final to a muscle injury and left on Thursday for treatment in Munich. "We are relieved and happy.

Missing Just that we come into the Champions League final, "also said Real president Florentino Perez:" We are in this season have a lot of work had and needed a title for us to reward them.
"The eccentric and Real-run-criticized coach Jose Mourinho could not resist after the game a dig at his critics. "This is a fantastic triumph. Great football is not just possession, "said Mourinho, who had to acquiesce to defensive play ostensibly because of his accusations before the meeting.
Real denied his fans the feeling of happiness that they deserve. Barcelona was a lion, Madrid merely a mouse ", the legendary Alfredo di Stefano after the 1-1 in the league last Saturday had said. On Wednesday it was more real. After much struggle in the regular season reached superstar Cristiano Ronaldo (103) the decisive goal for the master record.
The headed goal by Portuguese Barca said in a state of shock. "Your 'Cup, the championship, we" ran the headline, which appears in the Catalan metropolis newspaper "Sport" defiant and printed a photo of the Colombian singer Shakira, her boyfriend when she, Barca defender Pique, comforts.
Such scenes could be seen of course, not in Madrid. For hardship caused only the state of the trophy. According to Spanish media had to pick up security officials later parts of the road, the fans were not presented Cup. It looked in charge of the cup jeweler Federico Alegre said after a first evaluation ".
