Real Madrid – Celta (5-2): what to remember from the eighth of the Copa del Rey

Real Madrid won in a crazy match 5-2 against Celta de Vigo in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey thanks to goals from Mbappé, Vinicius Jr., Valverde and a double from Endrick.

He’s the man of the evening for Real Madrid. Endrick, who came into play at 2-0, thought he would finish the game with peace of mind like the rest of his team. But nay. Real Madrid completely collapsed with an error from Camavinga then from Asencio who offered two goals to Celta which took all these beautiful people, including Endrick, to overtime.

And there, the prophecy worked. Endrick says it himself: “I don’t see the goalkeeper on both goals. It was God who helped me score. I thank Him. » A small miracle to see him turn into a savior with the crumbs he has recently, even if the latter puts things into perspective: “The Mister makes his choices to win, not for me. I’m very happy, I know he trusts me. “. A first double which calls for many others for the Brazilian.

Booed even before the start of the match, Tchouaméni left to spend another bad evening. But the Frenchman, returned to his post, raised his head and put his sentry costume right side up. Precise, easy and committed, he showed a face that we have hardly seen in the middle this season, and with a new dimension in addition: projection.

Tchouaméni let loose offensively in this match and did the team good with his taking responsibility on the ball and in the calls. He almost scored with a nice shot and finished the game with a decisive pass in the bag. And he himself is aware of his good match by posting “what doesn’t kill…” on Instagram after his wonderful meeting.

Now for the negative. Already, there is the mistake of a Camavinga not in his crampons recently. He has a chance to finally win in 6 recently but he doesn’t succeed. Then, since the storm does not come without lightning, it was Asencio who was guilty of a stupid mistake in his own area. It must be emphasized that, despite this terrible error, the Canary Islands performed well in defense and can aspire to finally shake up the hierarchy with a match against his hometown club this weekend, Las Palmas.

The other negative point is the attitude. Throughout the match, we do not feel the extra soul of the beast wounded in his ego during the Clasico. It was individual talent that spoke and not collective compromise, tactical preparation or constant efforts. Ancelotti’s changes are in this line with simple, cautious choices, without ambition. A worrying observation even if the score is flattering.
