Suffering, but ultimately also pioneering: Real Madrid has turned it into art.
Royal have had to lose to eternal rivals Barcelona the past three times. Also in the first half of the second leg of the King’s Cup, the Catalans were sometimes exploited.
The Camp Nou has inspired them to cheer the name of (the comeback?) Lionel Messi. After 0-1 at the Bernabéu, the Blaugrana almost tasted a cup final.
But Carlo Ancelotti’s team is no longer so impressed. After 45 minutes of struggle, the powerful Courtois blocked the home team’s first goal. only to see the ball roll to the other side right after that, where Vinicius Jr. manages to hit it.
Like a bolt from the blue, Barcelona suddenly appeared behind.
classic TRUE…
In the second half, the home team tried to force their fans to return the ball. But allowing Real Madrid to pull the card off the counter – especially with Benzema in form – is to sign your own death warrant.
Madrid’s attack made playing space in the back of Barcelona’s defence. Benzema replaced the fast attacking match with a goal three times. His second hat-trick in as many matches.

Thus, Real Madrid qualifies for the King’s Cup final against Osasuna. But most importantly: after three losses, she was finally able to beat her eternal rival once again. In the lion’s den.
