MADRID (AP) — In the Copa del Rey semifinal match, Real Madrid defeated Real Sociedad 1-0 after Brazilian Endrick scored a goal in the first half as a substitute for Kylian Mbappé.
After the astro francés took away Mbappé's muela and forced him to follow the martes practice, Madrid fired him. Mbappé has scored six goals in his last five games.
Endrick concluded with a magnificent Zurda touch for the last 19 minutes. A contragolpe was completed by the 18-year-old attacker following Jude Bellingham's deep dive.
"Has aportado mucho," said Carlo Ancelotti, the Madrid coach. "It's difficult for a girl who plays so little to mark so much." It is quite fast and powerful, and it has a lot of acierto with the portería. Todavía fails to manage the ball better, but he is a superb player in the desmarque. Very young, but picks things very quickly.
In the Azulgrana conjuncto, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid drew 4–4 on the eve of the other semifinal.
Both Vuelta competitions will take place in April.
Ancelotti decanted Thibaut Courtois, the archer, and Federico Valverde, the Uruguayan volante. Courtois's replacement, Andriy Lunin, played a crucial role in giving Madrid the advantage in the end.
In 2023, the merengues won their final Copa del Rey title. In the final eight days of the previous edition, they were eliminated by the Atlético. Since winning their third championship in the 2020 Copa tournament, when they defeated Real Madrid 4-3 at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium to get to the finals, Real have not advanced past the semifinals.
