Real Madrid

Marco Asensio and Dani Ceballos were the players who inspired Real Madrid to their 3-2 comeback victory over Villarreal in the Copa del Rey on Thursday.

"I'm focused on my own and on the next game. For me the most important thing is the sporting aspect and to be happy." He brought on Ceballos for Toni Kroos and Asensio for Rodrygo Goes and suddenly Real Madrid looked as though they were a completely new team.

"We have played many games in a row, many players have came back from the World Cup and now we have to move on and look forward." Twelve minutes later he crossed to Karim Benzema whose towering header was denied by Filip Jorgensen but allowed Eder Militao to score from the rebound. Ceballos came off the bench in the 56th minute to play a pivotal role in all of Real Madrid goals.

However goals by Vinicius Junior, Eder Militao and Dani Ceballos after the break turned the last-16 clash on its head and sent Madrid, who last won the trophy ...

"We'll see what the draw gives us. We're in the last eight, we are happy, we're in a good dynamic -- this is the path." "We want to dominate matches and lately we have not been capable of doing it, we've had a lot of games in a row, many players coming back from the World Cup, and now we will improve." "The team knew how to stay alive in the game and luckily we could turn it around," match-winner Ceballos told Teledeporte. "I told them they had to wake up, we had lost a lot of battles, we weren't risking much in the press, they were looking for counters but it was a risk we had to take. Ceballos set up Vinicius to pull the first back for Madrid and it put the wind in their sails.

'You salute me'. It's not the first time Carlo Ancelotti has used that phrase with a young Real Madrid player. As well as young, European champions and ...

Asensio was useful and Ceballos had the ball for many minutes which allowed the team to attack better. In the 57th minute Vinicius himself found the perfect pass from Ceballos to make it 2-1. Ceballos and Asensio changed the face of Real Madrid. The Uruguayan had the chance to equalise after a gallop from Mendy, but sent the ball over Jorgensen's goal. But the game did not start well and the defence showed signs of disarray. Ancelotti then went to put his feet on the ground just as he did for Tchouameni months ago when the Frenchman barely brushed the Italian coach's hand in a substitution.

The 22-year-old used his time off to go and attend a NBA game taking place in Paris, between the Detroit Pistons and the Chicago Bulls. The entire squad wasn’t there to soak in the win though.

Real Madrid's Aurelien Tchouameni has apologised for watching NBA game in Paris on Thursday during his team's the Copa del Rey clash vs. Villarreal.

Asked about Rodrygo's snubbing, Ancelotti said after the game: "I think he forgot but for me it's nothing. The Brazilian forward did not look at Ancelotti as he walked off the pitch and sat down on the bench. I've been monitoring at all times what was happening in Villarreal, but I haven't done the right thing.

Aurelien Tchouameni apologised to Real Madrid after he skipped their Copa del Rey clash with Villarr...

Yann Sommer had little to do in the first half, but the Bayern debutant was picking the ball out of his net seven minutes after the restart. Bayern were not to be denied the lead, though, with Choupo-Moting turning in his seventh Bundesliga goal of the season after meeting Gnabry's pinpoint left-wing cross. Bayern were lucky ex-Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano stayed on the pitch after a rash challenge on Dominik Szoboszlai, but the visitors' run of 10 successive wins in all competitions came to a halt regardless.

Aurelien Tchouameni has apologised after he was snapped attending an NBA game in Paris while Real Madrid were playing in the Copa del Rey.

“Real Madrid has been allowed to operate with a reduced allocation for too long.” The fan groups said Madrid had an obligation to follow Champions League rules regardless of “local police advice,” which the club has cited. “It is entirely unacceptable for a club to openly disregard UEFA regulations as well as its responsibility to supporters in this manner,” the statement said.

Dani Ceballos played the hero as he scored the winning goal to complete Real Madrid's 3-2 comeback against Villarreal in the Copa del Rey round of 16 match.

Ceballos then scored the winner in the 86th minute to put Real Madrid through to the next round. But we can’t get close to the bottom before reacting, that isn’t good.” It’s the first half and the second, the first wasn’t good, we can’t play like that.
