In this Copa del Rey match, Real Madrid was simply unstoppable, securing a 5-0 victory over Minela and advancing to the round of 16. The most eye-catching aspect was that all five goals were scored by midfielders, making it a true "midfield carnival" night. Throughout the game, Real Madrid not only demonstrated their strength but also did not give their opponents any breathing room.
When it comes to this match, the first name that comes to mind is Valverde. He not only scored a goal but also provided an assist, showing his versatility in both attack and defense. Valverde's performance in this game is truly touching, as he is not only the engine of the midfield but also excelled in the attacking end. Honestly, this game is a typical display of Valverde's dominance, whether it's organizing the midfield or the impact in the front, it feels like he's an all-rounder warrior.
The most impressive part of the game has to be Juler's double. Two goals made Minela's defense seem like a sieve. Especially the second goal, Juler's push shot was simply beautiful, as if foreshadowing that he would become one of Real Madrid's future pillars. It can be imagined that Real Madrid fans watching at home must have been jumping with joy.
Looking at Modric, the veteran who has scored in two consecutive games, it's hard to believe he's not a young player anymore. Although on the field, Modric's speed may not be as fast as the younger players, but his skills and wisdom are impeccable. This goal once again proves that no matter how old he is, he can still stand up in critical moments and help the team solve problems. It can be said that Modric's goal is not only a reflection of his skills but also the best proof of his football wisdom accumulated over the years.
Besides these outstanding midfielders, Camavinga's goal is also worth mentioning. Although he is a young player, the calmness and decisiveness he showed in the game is no longer that of a "greenhorn". The way he scored was with a decisive long-range shot, with perfect power and angle, leaving the Minela goalkeeper with almost no chance to react.
Behind this victory, the performance of Real Madrid's main striker Endrick is somewhat regrettable. Although he had six shots, with five on target, unfortunately, he did not score any goals. Watching Endrick take shot after shot, it really is "the closer the goal, the greater the disappointment." His five shots on target could have had a much higher probability of scoring if they were taken by other players, but Endrick's efforts ultimately failed to turn into goals, perhaps even making him a bit frustrated.
We can't blame him entirely, after all, his shooting quality is not bad, it might just be that luck wasn't on his side. I hope he doesn't lose confidence because of this, after all, young players always need time to hone and grow.
After the game, netizens' comments were varied, with all kinds of opinions. To sum up, although the focus of this game was on the midfielders, Real Madrid's overall performance was still very satisfying. Whether it's Valverde's passing and shooting, Juler's double, or Modric's veteran style, they all showcased Real Madrid's invincible midfield strength. And although Endrick did not score, his performance is still promising, after all, he is young and has unlimited possibilities in the future.
