MIAMI, United States. – This Wednesday, Real Madrid starred a historic comeback at the Camp Nou, beating Barça with a resounding 0-4 and securing their place in the Copa del Rey final, where they will face Osasuna.
The key to the victory was, without a doubt, Karim Benzema, who achieved a hat trick (three goals) and provided an assist in an unforgettable performance.
The match began with a dominant Barça, but the team led by Carlo Ancelotti knew how to neutralize their momentum and began to change the course of the match. Just before the break, Vinicius opened the scoring with a goal that surprised the locals and marked the start of the Barça debacle.
In the second half, a Benzema in a state of grace was in charge of sentencing the game. First, the French striker scored an impossible goal for Marc-André ter Stegen, after a masterful play by Luka Modric. Shortly after, Vinicius caused a penalty that Benzema himself was in charge of converting, leaving Barça aimless. Finally, the Frenchman closed his hat trick with a third goal, the result of an assist from Vinicius.
On May 6, at the Cartuja stadium (Seville), Real Madrid and Osasuna will face each other for the Copa del Rey title. The merengue team starts as favorites after the demonstration this Wednesday at the Camp Nou.
Barça, for its part, will have to find a way to recover. The team led by Xavi Hernández has suffered a severe blow to their aspirations, but there is still a season ahead and the Catalans will have to raise their heads.
Ancelotti’s team have hit the table and have made it clear that their era is not over, but that they continue to be a force to be reckoned with in international football.
