What a difference a year makes.

Exactly a year ago, a smarting Barcelona saw a largely-forgettable campaign reach a disappointing end with a heartbreaking 3-2 defeat to Real Madrid in LaLiga.

Fast forward a year and press play, a largely similar Barcelona side revamped by the German revolutionary in Hansi Flick, clinch the first of three titles on offer by beating a Kylian Mbappe-compounded Real Madrid team, you guessed it, 3-2 in the Copa del Rey final at their own game of staging emphatic comebacks.
