Real could have avoided this scare. In a match that he had locked down, or so we thought, he conceded two goals in the last 10 minutes to finally be pushed into overtime (2-2) by Celta Vigo in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey. Without consequence since the merengue finally played during the additional 30 minutes to largely win and qualify for the quarter-finals.
Kylian Mbappé, already in the spotlight on Sunday against Barça despite the rout during a Super Cup classic, was once again decisive. He opened the scoring with a rush down the left, after recovering the ball in his own half and scoring from a tight angle with a superb left-footed shot.
If the French striker continues to show more than positive signals, the other good news of the evening for Real is also the regained confidence of his attackers as a whole. Vinicius also scored, as did the Brazilian nugget Endrick, author of a double.
