Copa del Rey

It all looked so simple for Real Madrid. They were 2-0 up at home in the Copa del Rey Round of 16 with Celta Vigo looking like going out and home to Galicia with their dreams of a trophy shattered.

Vini Jr, Mbappé, Modric and Lunin had all starred, with Asencio at the back and Tchouaméni more than enough in midfield.

Cup ties to be decided on the day

If the games end in a draw, at the end of 90 minutes, 30 minutes of extra time will be played, consisting of two 15-minute periods. If there is still no winner, a penalty shootout will then follow. Whatever happens, there will be a winner on the day.
