Real Madrid's Copa del Rey Party: A 5-0 Showdown 🎉⚽
Hola, futboleros! 🖐️ Real Madrid just threw a goal fiesta, crushing Deportivo Minera 5-0 to secure their spot in the Copa del Rey last 16! 💥
The night kicked off with Federico Valverde smashing in a volley at the back post early on. Talk about setting the tone! 😎 Just 13 minutes in, Eduardo Camavinga doubled the fun with a slick header. The excitement didn't stop there—young talent Arda Guler cut in from the right and fired home with a little help from a deflection. Boom! 3-0 before halftime! 🚀
With the Spanish Super Cup around the corner in Saudi Arabia, Coach Carlo Ancelotti decided to mix things up. Key stars like Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior took a chill pill on the bench, only stepping in during the second half. But no worries, the squad was on fire! 🔥
Brahim Díaz almost made it four when he hit the post early in the second half. But leave it to the legend Luka Modrić, the 39-year-old maestro curled in a beauty to make it 4-0! 🎩✨
As the clock ticked down, Guler wasn't done yet. After a sweet assist from Fran García, he tapped in his second goal of the night. Double trouble! 💫 The Turkish playmaker showed he's one to watch, and Madrid fans couldn't be happier! 🙌
Elsewhere, giants like Barcelona and Atlético Madrid also cruised into the next round, while holders Athletic Bilbao had a nail-biting win on penalties against Logroñés. 🥵
Mark your calendars! 🗓️ The draw for the next round is this Wednesday, with matches set between January 14-16. Can't wait to see who Los Blancos face next! 🤩
