Embarrassing performance by Real Madrid!
The royals made it into the last 16 of the Copa de Rey with a meager 1-0 win at fourth division CP Cacareno. In the exclusive live broadcast by BILD and SPORT BILD, viewers see how Real in their first game of the season in the Spanish Cup (previously two byes) narrowly avoided embarrassment!
Real coach Carlo Ancelotti (63) offers a B-Elf in the city of Caceres (300 kilometers south-west of Madrid) with a population of 96,000, largely without World Cup participants. National player Antonio Rüdiger and Uruguay’s Federico Valverde are only on the bench. Thibaut Courtois, David Alaba, Ferland Mendy, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Vinicius Junior and captain Karim Benzema are not even in the squad.
The first half is correspondingly tough! Real shoots a frightening three times (!) on goal before the break. The outsider (sixth in the fourth division) is driven by 7,000 spectators in the Estadio Principe Felipe and is defensively bombproof.
The valiant Cacarenos also have more to offer offensively over other stretches of the game. After 90 minutes, the goal shot ratio is 8:6 for the fourth division team, who never give up. But the sensation does not succeed.

Because Real lets its quality flash – and that’s enough for the Zitter victory!
69. Minute: Rodrygo runs a slalom through two Cacareno defenders on the left corner of the penalty area, then flicks the ball wonderfully into the right corner. The redeeming 1-0 for Real!
Crazy: The market value of the Brazilian, who only got eleven minutes of playing time at the World Cup, is 80 million euros, almost 31 times as high as that of the entire opposing squad (2.6 million euros). But the class difference is only noticeable in one scene!
