Real Madrid turned up the heat in Spain’s Copa Del Rey on Monday, delivering a dazzling 5-0 victory against fourth-tier Deportivo Minera to blast into the tournament’s last 16. Talk about a goal avalanche! 🌟
Federico Valverde kicked off the scoring spree with a sharp volley, followed by Eduardo Camavinga’s header just 13 minutes in. Turkish rising star Arda Guler stole the spotlight with a first-half brace, while ageless wonder Luka Modric (yes, the 39-year-old!) curled in a picture-perfect fourth goal. Guler sealed the deal late with a tap-in, proving why he’s one to watch this season. 👀💫
Coach Carlo Ancelotti played it cool, resting stars like Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappé ahead of the Spanish Super Cup. But even the B-team had *plenty* of firepower. Meanwhile, rivals Barcelona and Atlético Madrid also cruised through their matches, while defending champs Athletic Bilbao squeaked by on penalties. The drama never stops! 💥
Next up? The last-16 draw drops Wednesday – time to mark those calendars for January 14-16 fixtures. Will Real Madrid keep their trophy dreams alive? 🗓️⚡
