Madrid survives Celta’s late scare
Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior each scored a goal in either half, giving Madrid a seemingly comfortable 2-0 lead.
However, Celta fought back with late goals from Jonathan Bamba and Marcos Alonso, forcing the game into extra time.
Endrick came off the bench to fire a stunning shot from the edge of the box in the 108th minute.
Just four minutes later, Federico Valverde unleashed a thunderous long-range strike into the top corner, extending Madrid’s lead.
Endrick sealed the win with a brilliant back-heel flick in the 119th minute.
Real Madrid joined Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Getafe, Leganes, Valencia, Osasuna, and Real Sociedad in the quarterfinals, with the draw set to take place on Monday.
Endrick dedicates brace to Rudiger
Endrick, 18, hasn’t found the net since September 17 and has played a total of just 83 league minutes this campaign.
The teenager dedicated his brace to Rudiger, who helped him through his goal drought.
“I keep working every day,” Endrick told Real Madrid TV.
“My two goals are for Antonio Rüdiger — eh knows what he does for me every day. He never praises me, and that’s a good thing! He tells me what to do, to score, to run, to keep fighting. Yesterday in training he gave me a tough game. I was thinking about it at home and he’s a great person. The goals are for him.”
Endrick celebrated his first goal of the game by ripping off his shirt.
“[The first] was a very important goal for me,” Endrick said.
“This is my job. I have to do well for the team, scoring goals, doing whatever. Scoring a goal for Madrid, for these fans, the players, the staff, is really good. In the last Copa game I missed the chances I had. Today, I had two chances and scored.”
