NEW FOOTAGE: Bellingham’s controversial situation turned Real Madrid into a former Copa del Rey champion

At Motropolitano Stadium, a Real Madrid player struck a hard shot in the 110th minute that found Jude Bellingham’s position and struck Cesar Azpilicueta’s foot. The 2003-born midfielder calmly controlled the shot, but Jan Oblak blocked it.

 

 

Real Madrid equalized at 3-3 thanks to a quick goal from Dani Ceballos. But the “Los Blancos” player’s happiness was short-lived as the offside error was promptly called by the referee and VAR crew. It was Bellingham who got hit with the consequences.

The ball touched an Atletico player before rebounding into Bellingham’s position, making the referee team’s ruling questionable. Although real athletes responded, Mr. Guillermo Cuadra’s choice remained unaltered.

 

Real was denied a goal, forcing them to launch an all-out assault with their entire team. Atletico staged a forceful assault in the 119th minute to eliminate coach Carlo Ancelotti’s army. Memphis Depay skillfully helped Rodrigo Riquelme in a three-on-one situation, ensuring “Rojiblancos” won 4-2.

To get to the Copa del Rey quarterfinals, Atletico Madrid settled its debt to Real Madrid. Diego Simeone’s club lost to their city rivals in the quarterfinals of the previous season. They were still losing in the Spanish Super Cup not too long ago.

Bellingham and his colleagues still have the Champions League and La Liga to aim for in the interim.

 

Madrid derbies in cup tournaments had to go into extra time, as usual. In eight of the eleven meetings under coach Simeone, Atletico Madrid made their local rivals play 120 minutes.

The two Madrid teams treated their supporters to a fast-paced game filled with several noteworthy plays. Despite playing worse, Atletico scored their first goal in the 39th minute thanks to a close-range effort from Samuel Lino.

Real Madrid launched numerous attacks, but they couldn’t equalize until the 45+1 minute. Jan Oblak made an amazing error from a free kick. His opponent scored a goal because he raced out and missed the ball.

Both clubs’ defenses struggled mightily throughout the day. It was Lunin and Antonio Rudiger’s turn to play wildly in the 57th minute, setting up Alvaro Morata to score against his former team and make it 2-1.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti substituted juvenile sensation Rodrygo with Joselu on the field in the 80th minute. Joselu lit up the scoreless second half with a brilliant close-range finish, bringing “Los Blancos” even. Bellingham launched the opening assault after receiving a pass from the right wing.

 

Real failed to duplicate their King’s Cup success from the previous season, despite forcing their opponents into extra time. Antoine Griezmann’s brilliant play in the 100th minute gave Atletico the lead once more. The French striker increased the score to 3-2 after dribbling the ball at the bottom of the goal line and then kicking Real’s net from a close angle.

Real Madrid tried to attack more, but it was ineffective and they even gave up a goal for the fourth time. “Los Blancos” were likewise unlucky in this encounter to have two shots strike the wooden frame.
