Valencia pips Barcelona 2-1 to win Copa Cup

Valencia on Saturday defeated Spanish giants FC Barcelona to win the Copa Del Rey.

The defending champions lost 2-1 in a match that may be the last for the under-fire Coach Ernesto Valverde.

The defeat denied Barcelona a fifth consecutive Copa Del Rey victory.

When superstar Lionel Messi pulled one goal back in the second half, many expected a comeback.

But the Valencia players held on for a memorable victory, even missing two open chances to kill the game.
