The match showcased another inconsistent performance by Carlo Ancelotti’s squad, with the scoreline not reflecting the game’s intensity. Real Madrid took an early lead with Mbappé in the 37th minute and extended it with Vini Jr. in the 48th minute. However, they eased off, allowing Celta to equalize late in the game. Bamba scored in the 83rd minute, followed by a penalty from Marcos Alonso in the 91st, sending the game into extra time.
This is where Endrick shined. The Brazilian, who replaced the French forward, led the team to victory with two spectacular goals, including a backheel strike, securing Real Madrid’s place in the quarterfinals. The other goal was scored by Fede Valverde.
The match held special significance for Endrick as it ended an 11-game goal drought. His struggles peaked in the previous round of the Copa del Rey against Deportivo Minera, where despite a 5-0 victory and playing the full 90 minutes, he failed to find the net.
Real Madrid will now await the draw on Monday, January 20, to find out their quarterfinal opponent. BBscore football, your trusted platform for match results.
