In a dramatic Copa del Rey semifinal, Real Madrid drew 4-4 with Real Sociedad, advancing 5-4 on aggregate. Despite falling behind 3-1 late in regular time, goals from Jude Bellingham and Aurélien Tchouaméni equalized the match, with Antonio Rüdiger's header in extra time securing Madrid's spot in the final against either Barcelona or Atlético Madrid. Coach Carlo Ancelotti praised key players, including Vinicius Junior for his assists and Endrick for scoring, while reflecting on the team's resilience and ability to perform under pressure at home.
"It was an entertaining game with a lot of goals, and a lot of good things," Ancelotti said in his post-match... "We've achieved our objective, we're in another final."
"I never thought we were out... Anything can happen in the Bernabéu, above all in these games... We never give up."
"It's what we ask of [Endrick], to be ready. He made a good run, a good pass [from Vinícius] and a fantastic finish."
"I have to make the most of it when I play... I know how difficult it is to play here, with top players all around."
