Real Madrid

Dani Ceballos scored Madrid's first goal with a shot from the edge of the penalty area in the 86th minute to give his team victory in Villarreal.

Raphinha opened the scoring on Thursday with a low left-footed shot from outside the penalty area in the 41st minute before Lewandowski added to the lead from inside the box after a pass by Franck Kessié in the 50th. Dani Ceballos scored Madrid’s first goal with a shot from the edge of the penalty area in the 86th minute to give his team victory in Villarreal. We lost too many duels.” Villarreal, trying to return to the last eight after a round-of-32 exit last season, had taken a comfortable lead with goals by Étienne Capoue in the fourth minute and Samuel Chukwueze in the 42nd. It had won five Copa trophies in seven seasons before that. “I told the players they had to wake up. “I think we played better than they did again,” Villarreal coach Quique Setién said.

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.

Real Madrid came from two goals down to beat Villarreal 3-2 in the Copa del Rey last 16 on Thursday thanks to a brilliant second-half performance by ...

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. "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." Ceballos came off the bench in the 56th minute to play a pivotal role in all of Real Madrid goals.

Real Madrid tapped into the magic that typified last season to advance to the next round of the Copa del Rey.

And Ceballos added the crucial third with five minutes remaining, driving the ball into the corner before diving to the ground to welcome a pile of team-mates. Villarreal were all over Real Madrid in the first half, and opened the scoring inside five minutes. Their second came 10 minutes later, after Militao reacted first to a loose ball inside the Villarreal box.

However, Los Blancos have had the worst possible start to the match, having gone behind after just four minutes. Gerard Moreno played in French midfielder ...

However, it won’t be easy having gone behind so early. Gerard Moreno played in French midfielder Etienne Capoue, and his strike from inside the penalty area flew beyond Thibaut Courtois. Sunday’s disappointing Spanish Super Cup victory against Barcelona in Riyadh was a very poor performance by Carlo Ancelotti’s side, and they would have hoped to bounce back against Villarreal this evening.

Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid will face off in the round of 16 of the 2022/23 Copa del Rey.

The only time Madrid have won a Copa del Rey final against Atlético was in 1975 when they won – bizarrely enough – at Estadio Vicente Calderón, Atleti’s former home, in a penalty shootout after a goalless draw. Second-half goals from Raúl García and Jose Giménez led Atleti to a 2-0 home win in the first leg, which was followed by a 2-2 draw at the Bernabéu. Real Madrid have won almost exactly half (114) of the previous 230 - compared to 57 for Atlético - and have lost only one of their last 10 games against their city rivals. If history is anything to go by, Atlético Madrid would much rather meet Real Madrid in the final of the Copa del Rey than at any other stage of the competition. The most obvious thing to say about the Madrid derby is that its participants do not especially like each other, although in particular from the Atleti side. Once again, Real Madrid did the unthinkable.

It would, however, not be a surprise after his early retirement from the German National Team as well.

Marco Asensio maintains that his preference is to remain at Real Madrid after previously generating talk of interest from Manchester United and Arsenal.

Given the 26-year-old’s pedigree, as a three-time Champions League winner with over 250 appearances for Real to his name, reports of admiring glances being shot in his direction – For me the most important thing is the sporting side and being happy.” As things stand, the Spain international forward will become a free agent in the summer when his current contract at Santiago Bernabeu expires.

Dani Ceballos channels his inner-Guti and inspires Real Madrid to a Copa del Rey comeback.

A game-winning goal, an assist, and a critical hockey assist — involved in all three goal. Improved in the second half after the substitutions, playing in a deeper midfield role alongside Camavinga. Unlucky to get a yellow card in the first half, but learned to manage it (as Carlo spoke to in the post-match presser). One of the most impactful substitution appearances seen in a long time. It was Nacho that made two last ditch tackles on Alex Baena to deny Villarreal a further advantage in the first half. More of that is needed from the Frenchman in future matches.

Real Madrid has been criticized by the UEFA-recognized group representing European soccer fans for allocating Liverpool too few tickets for the teams' ...

“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.
