Real Madrid The Comeback King
The Copa Del Rey is reaching the final stage, and Barcelona are through to the semi-finals after beating Real Sociedad 1-0 at home, Dembele scored a stunning goal which sent Barcelona into the next stage of the competition. The Frenchman stole the show in the match with a fantastic performance on the pitch, with his passing, dribbling, and dangerous crosses into Real Sociedad's defense.
The scoreline was not what I expected from the Catalan giant, Real Sociedad were a man down which gave Barcelona the upper hand to control the pitch and create more chances to score goals but they had poor finishing in front of goal, anyway a win is a win and they are in semi-finals and their opponent in the semis will be revealed on Monday.
Barcelona rivals Real Madrid are also in the Copa Del Rey and are also through to the semi-finals after a fantastic comeback of 1-0 to 3-1 sending Atletico Madrid out of the competition. Real Madrid is the king of comebacks, they did against PSG in the champions league last season, and also against Manchester City in the same season, their winning mentality is unmatched and that is why they are the best in the world.
Atletico Madrid scored the first goal of the match in the 19th minute of the first half, Molina who played well for Argentina in the world cup lead the counter-attack for Atletico's first goal, Molina played a low cross into the box to Morata, the Spanish striker made a tap in into the goal post and scored for his side.
Real Madrid started their comeback in the 79th minute of the second half, the Brazilian youngster Rodrigo dribbled past four Atletico players and made his way into the box and played a shot into the goalpost. Both teams failed to score a winning goal before the 90th minute and the game had to go into extra time. Atletico's problems started when Stefan Savic was booked his second yellow card which got him a red card and he was immediately sent off the pitch, Atlético Madrid had to continue the match with 10 men on the field.
Real Madrid saw the opportunity and within the space of four minutes they scored their second goal, Marco Asensio played a low cross Into the box, and Vinicius Jnr tried to play the ball into the goalpost but the ball went past his leg to Karim Benzema, the Frenchman played shot into the bottom comer of the goalpost.
Vinicius Jnr sealed the victory for Madrid with his goal in the 120th minute of extra time, the goal was kind of silly because Atletico players were just watching him play the ball no one went to mark him or even make a tackle to take the ball off his legs. The Brazilian winger saw the opportunity went solo and played a shot into the goalpost. extra time was up and the match came to an end.
Real Madrid will find out their opponent in the semi-finals on Monday, they are likely going to get one of these three clubs Barcelona, Osasuna, and Athletic Club, as a Barcelona fan I hope we don't get Madrid in the semi-final instead we face Madrid in the finals and snatch another trophy for their hands this season.
So guys that will be all for now, thanks for stopping by, and have a great weekend.
