VILLARREAL (EFE) -- El Real Madrid logró remontar este jueves un 2-0 al Villarreal en la segunda parte guiado por un soberbio Dani Ceballos, que salió en el ...
La entrada de Asensio y Ceballos le sentó bien al Real Madrid, que comenzó a apretar a los de Setién con un ataque ordenado que empequeñeció al Villarreal. Cumplida la media hora de juego, Valverde evitó una ocasión clara de gol al arrebatar el balón a Baena cuando ya estaba preparado para rematar y, pese a que el Real Madrid parecía reaccionar con un chut de Rodrygo que salvó Pau Torres, el Villarreal recuperaba y salía con éxito al contraataque. El equipo de Ancelotti intentaba desprenderse de esa presión, pero, cuando lograba plantarse en el área rival, la zaga local respondía con seguridad.

“We needed a win and to qualify for the next round. In the dressing room we spoke about how the comeback was possible and we had to show that character we all have in us. It was a great second half display and we managed to turn the game around”. But it was a whole team effort, It was a really good second half and we showed what Real Madrid are all about. I'm thrilled to have been able to win it for the team". That's how we turned the game around”.

The effort from the team wasn’t exactly convincing, but Ferland Mendy could have made things better when he found himself one on one with the keeper, but his effort wasn’t good enough to beat the keeper. The half needed to be perfect from Real Madrid, and it could not have gone better for Ancelotti’s men. Madrid managed to game well from this point onwards, and saw the game out for 3-2 win. Things had gotten serious in the Copa del Rey as Real Madrid had a chance to progress to the quarter finals of a competition that they barely ever win. The starting line-up was a far more experienced one, though - with Thibaut Courtois starting over Andriy Lunin for the first cup game in a long time. Villarreal posed a strong challenge, meaning that the opportunities that youth players received in the previous round would be hard to come by this time out.

En esta oportunidad, la Copa del Rey se convierte en el torneo clave para empezar el año, razón por la cual no escatimó en riesgos y convocó a sus principales figuras. Setién organiza su plantel con el paso de los partidos, situación que ha aprovechado el vallecaucano para afianzarse en la titular y sumar minutos con el Submarino Amarillo. Por su parte, el lateral colombiano Johan Mojica viene de jugar los 90 minutos en el empate del Submarino Amarillo frente a Celta de Vigo, y espera que su equipo logre un importante resultado frente al Real Madrid en los octavos de final de la Copa del Rey.
Dani Ceballos played the hero as he scored the winning goal to complete Real Madrid's 3-2 comeback against Villarreal in the Copa del Rey round of 16 match.
Ceballos then scored the winner in the 86th minute to put Real Madrid through to the next round. But we can’t get close to the bottom before reacting, that isn’t good.” It’s the first half and the second, the first wasn’t good, we can’t play like that.
Real Madrid tapped into the magic that typified last season to advance to the next round of the Copa del Rey.
And Ceballos added the crucial third with five minutes remaining, driving the ball into the corner before diving to the ground to welcome a pile of team-mates. Villarreal were all over Real Madrid in the first half, and opened the scoring inside five minutes. Their second came 10 minutes later, after Militao reacted first to a loose ball inside the Villarreal box.

Olympiacos boast the best offense (85.2 points) ahead of Madrid (84.4). In that sense, Madrid have shown they can come through tough spells with incredible winning runs (+23 against Crvena Zvezda; +5 against Alba Berlin and + 21 against Granada). Madrid hold the edge on the rebound and an intimidation factor, with Tavares enjoying a sublime spell of form (averaging 24.6 PIR across the last five wins). It's set to be their fourth away game on the bounce, the three so far all going in our team's favour ( It's first versus second at the start of this round of games, the best offense against the top defense.

Pintus has regularly come up with the goods for Real Madrid, but the inherent risk is that Real Madrid find themselves too far behind in La Liga and out of the Copa del Rey by the time they are fit again. Fitness coach Antonio Pintus did a stellar job last season in ensuring Carlo Ancelotti had all of his stars available and fit in April and May last season, but is facing an unusual situation this year. Part of that is down to injuries, with David Alaba and Aurelien Tchouameni’s absences severely damaging their side in recent times.

El brasileño Vinícius Júnior festeja con Dani Ceballos luego de anotar por el Real Madrid ante el Villarreal en la Copa del REy, el jueves 19 de enero de 2023.
Había conquistado el título del torneo de copa cinco veces en las siete ediciones previas. “Estos partidos, en estos campos, cuestan mucho si no estás al cien por cien”, comentó el azulgrana Sergi Roberto. Ansu Fati firmó el tercero de la noche al culminar un contragolpe a los 70. Lewandowski aumentó la ventaja al definir dentro del área tras un pase de Franck Kessié a los 70. “Les hemos superado tanto en la primera parte que luego en la segunda las cosas han cambiado”, explicó el estratega de Villarreal, Quique Setién. Había asistido al brasileño Vinícius Júnior para que anotara a los 57 minutos, lo que puso en marcha la remontada ante el Villarreal.

"I'm focused on my own and on the next game. For me the most important thing is the sporting aspect and to be happy." He brought on Ceballos for Toni Kroos and Asensio for Rodrygo Goes and suddenly Real Madrid looked as though they were a completely new team.
Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid will face off in the round of 16 of the 2022/23 Copa del Rey.
The only time Madrid have won a Copa del Rey final against Atlético was in 1975 when they won – bizarrely enough – at Estadio Vicente Calderón, Atleti’s former home, in a penalty shootout after a goalless draw. Second-half goals from Raúl García and Jose Giménez led Atleti to a 2-0 home win in the first leg, which was followed by a 2-2 draw at the Bernabéu. Real Madrid have won almost exactly half (114) of the previous 230 - compared to 57 for Atlético - and have lost only one of their last 10 games against their city rivals. If history is anything to go by, Atlético Madrid would much rather meet Real Madrid in the final of the Copa del Rey than at any other stage of the competition. The most obvious thing to say about the Madrid derby is that its participants do not especially like each other, although in particular from the Atleti side. Once again, Real Madrid did the unthinkable.

Real Madrid has been criticized by the UEFA-recognized group representing European soccer fans for allocating Liverpool too few tickets for the teams' ...
“Real Madrid has been allowed to operate with a reduced allocation for too long.” Article 38 of Champions League regulations state: “Home clubs must make at least 5% of the total approved UEFA capacity of their stadium available exclusively to visiting supporters, in a segregated, safe area.” The rules also cap the ticket price for away fans at 70 euros ($76). The fan groups said Madrid had an obligation to follow Champions League rules regardless of “local police advice,” which the club has cited.

“It's a big clash which will surely be hard-fought and great for the spectators. It's a single-game knock-out and we have to try and make the most of the fact we're playing at home. This will be the eighteenth time we face Atlético in a Copa knock-out tie, and the previous 17 encounters make happy reading for our team (11-6).

The quarterfinals will be the last round played as a single game. 18 -- and face them again in the league on Feb. Carlo Ancelotti's side have already beaten Atletico once this season -- a 2-1 away victory in LaLiga on Sept.
Marco Asensio maintains that his preference is to remain at Real Madrid after previously generating talk of interest from Manchester United and Arsenal.

Villarreal crashed out of the Copa del Rey in pretty spectacular fashion on Thursday night.
It certaintly outlines the need to sign a ready-to-go centre-back in the summer. But in the meantime, the Yellows bow out of the Copa del Rey, and they now turn attention back to La Liga, taking on Girona at home on Sunday. [Villarreal](https://www.villarrealusa.com/) crashed out of the Copa del Rey in pretty spectacular fashion on Thursday night.
Dani Ceballos channels his inner-Guti and inspires Real Madrid to a Copa del Rey comeback.
A game-winning goal, an assist, and a critical hockey assist — involved in all three goal. Improved in the second half after the substitutions, playing in a deeper midfield role alongside Camavinga. Unlucky to get a yellow card in the first half, but learned to manage it (as Carlo spoke to in the post-match presser). One of the most impactful substitution appearances seen in a long time. It was Nacho that made two last ditch tackles on Alex Baena to deny Villarreal a further advantage in the first half. More of that is needed from the Frenchman in future matches.
If Ancelotti's team beat Atlético to make the Copa del Rey semis, the dates will coincide with the Club World Cup.
If Madrid are drawn against any other side in the semi-final (Osasuna, Valencia, Athletic or Real Sociedad) they could play the tie in one of those mid-week dates. In this hypothetical case, the most viable option would be the week of 20-24 March, when there are no international commitments. There could be a potential fixtures pile-up if Real Madrid make it to the Copa del Rey semi-finals. Looking at the fixtures calendar, there are hardly any alternatives for Real Madrid if they make it to the Copa semi-finals. However, no one predicted is that FIFA would announce their tournament to take place in the first two weeks of February (from 1 to 11) - dates which coincide with the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals (8 February). Real Madrid were drawn against Atlético in the quarter finals, which will be played next week.
Real Madrid winger Vinícius Júnior was involved in a heated exchange with Villarreal goalkeeper Pepe Reina in the Copa del Rey tie.
Not impressed, the Real Madrid attacker bit back and Reina came out of the dugout to exchange heated words with Vinícius before the free-kick was taken.
