Windy.

After the slap received by FC Barcelona in the final of the Spanish Super Cup (2-5), Real Madrid, pushed into overtime while quietly leading 2-0 until the 83^emanaged to get rid of Celta Vigo during the 8^es of the Coupe du Roi final (5-2, ap). Carlo Ancelotti’s men trembled from the start of the match when Carl Starfelt’s helmet hit Andriy Lunin’s post (5^e). But the Madrilenians can count on Mbappé, author of an individual feat on the left, to open the scoring by deceiving Ivan Villar from a very tight angle (1-0, 37^e). Stunning. Returning from the locker room, it’s Vinicius Junior’s turn to add his two cents. After a good percussion from Mbappé, again, Brahim Diaz serves Vinicius at the entrance to the zone of truth, who does not hesitate to deceive the opposing goalkeeper (2-0, 48^e). Arda Güler then thinks about participating in the party, but his pawn is refused for an offside position (77^e).

Celta regains hope 10 minutes from the end thanks to Jonathan Bamba: served full axis following an error from Eduardo Camavinga, the former Lille player leaves no chance for Lunin with his recovery from the right (2-1, 83^e). This first goal from the Frenchman this season restarts everything and, in the final minutes of the match, Raul Asensio panics and commits an avoidable foul on Bamba in the area, penalty! Marcos Alonso does not tremble and allows the Celtics to go into overtime (2-2, 90^e). Despite the scenario that seems to escape them, Madrid will put their heads back together: after being found just in front of the opposing penalty area by Güler, Endricks leaves Villar no chance thanks to a tense shot (3-2, 108^e). In the process, Federico Valverde kills all suspense with a sublime strike from outside from 25 meters (4-2, 112^e). At the very end of extra time, Endrick took advantage of a corner to score a double thanks to a well-aimed backheel (5-2, 119^e). Curtain. THE Meringues ensure the essential by qualifying for the quarter-finals of the King’s Cup.

You don’t have to be heartbroken when you support Real.
