In the 2014 Copa del Rey final between Real Madrid and Barcelona, Gareth Bale secured the victory with a sensational goal. With only five minutes remaining, Bale started his run from just inside his own half on the left wing. He left Barcelona defender Bartra behind with blistering pace, even briefly going off the field before returning. Bale skillfully maneuvered into the penalty area, evading multiple challenges, and calmly slotted the ball into the net with his left foot from six yards out. This remarkable display earned praise from football pundits, while Barcelona coach Gerardo Martino acknowledged the extraordinary sprint at such a crucial stage of the game.
