Real Madrid were facing FC Barcelona in the second leg of the Copa Del Rey Semi final. The first leg which was played in Madrid ended in a 1-0 victory for the Cules. In addition to it the Cules have outplayed Los Blanocs thrice this year. So there was a lot of pressure in the Madrid camp.
It was a must win game for them. And Boy what a game it turned out to be. Real Madrid blew away Barcelona in their own backyard. Just before halftime Vini Jr. scored the opening goal of the game and levelled the tie on aggregate 1-1. However the second half was all about Big Ben who scored a wonderful hattrick and took Madrid to the final of Copa del Rey after 9 long years. In addition to it we also need to praise the defense who were rock solid in such a crucial game.
Real will now face Osasuna in the Copa Del Rey finals. One can hope that Madrid will overcome Osasuna in the final and will win the Copa Del Rey trophy. Till then fingers crossed and best wishes to Los Blancos.
