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?
