Opposed to cacerenoa D4 team, in the 16th final of the King’s Cup, the Real Madrid scared himself before finally emerging in the 70th on a personal saving achievement by Rodrygo (0-1).
But how hard it was for these revamped Madrid residents (no Vinicius, Benzema, Courtois, Kroos or Modric in particular) who have long been abused by these premises without complexes and determined to make life difficult for the opposing ogre (31 faults in all in the match!)
Without ideas, jostled physically and especially in the commitment, the men of Carlo Ancelotti have long wandered like lost souls on the potato field which served as the ground for this 16th final.
Fortunately for them, the little thumb of cacerenoso incisive in the game, was much less impactful, only managing to frame one shot over the 90 minutes while the spaces in the Madrid defense were very present.
It therefore seemed written that, despite its obvious difficulties, the Real Madrid was going to manage to emerge at some point, taking advantage of a slight drop in speed to strike. The goal finally fell from the feet of Rodrygo, with a superb solo in the box (69′).
A small goal that makes Real happy, which therefore goes to the round of 16. On the Belgian side, no Thibaut Courtois, we said it but well a Eden Hazard incumbent. Unfortunately for him, like all of his teammates, he had a difficult evening, picking up a lot without managing to influence the match (24 balls only touched). His few deviations were, of course, well felt but, more generally, his performance was insufficient to convince Carlo Ancelotti to give him more playing time. He was finally replaced after 67 minutes and left with his head quite low.
