As my colleague, Rob Hughes, late Wednesday night, it was the Spanish football club Real Madrid to win the Copa del Rey, or King's Cup for the first time in 18 years, beat their eternal rivals Barcelona, 1 - 0 in overtime.
Thus, during the wild celebrations that followed the Spanish capital, fell one of the stars of the team trophy at the highest level of a convertible double-decker bus. As this video of the incident shows a few seconds later the team bus rolled on the prestigious cup, which was broken "at least 10 pieces," according to a report in El Mundo.
Goldsmith explained that he made the trophy on Thursday in El Mundo that the football scene when officers activated the "Plan B" pulls out a copy of the trophy which is kept always at hand, in order to introduce just such an emergency.
The player who dropped the trophy, Sergio Ramos, has shed light on the incident, wrote on Twitter that the cup had not fallen, but a jump of his hands in joy to see so many excited fans in Madrid.
Although the accident left the door open for a lot of schadenfreude Barcelona fans - who spent the links to the video on social networks, and joked that players Madrid are "not used for the treatment of the press' - Madrid Club Fans celebrated long into the night in the Spanish capital, and around the world.
Like all games between the two giants of Spanish football, the clash between Real Madrid and Barcelona was closely followed outside Spain.
This video, posted on YouTube on Thursday morning, shows that the victory of Real Madrid was held even by protesters camping in a square in the center of Sanaa, the capital of Yemen:
