Real Madrid’s dramatic 5-2 victory over Celta Vigo in the Copa del Rey was a rollercoaster that no one saw coming. Los Blancos seemed to have the game under control at 2-0, thanks to goals from Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Jr.
However, a costly mistake from Eduardo Camavinga and a last-minute penalty allowed Celta to claw their way back into the game, sending it into extra time. What seemed like a potential disaster for Madrid turned into a showcase of their resilience and star power.
The extra time belonged to Endrick, Real Madrid’s 18-year-old prodigy, who stole the spotlight with two sensational goals. His first was a rocket from outside the box, and the second, a cheeky backheel finish, put the game out of Celta’s reach.
Federico Valverde also added a thunderous strike, as Madrid silenced any doubts about their dominance. Despite moments of complacency, the victory proved why Los Blancos remain one of the most dangerous teams in the world.
Real Madrid fans didn’t hold back, taking to social media to mock Celta Vigo supporters who thought their team could snatch a draw. From celebrating too early to underestimating Madrid’s ability to turn the tide, Celta fans were the target of endless jabs.
Comments from Real Madrid fans
“A draw at the Bernabéu? Against Real Madrid? Aww that’s cute,” one fan quipped. Another joked, “Endrick didn’t just end the match; he ended your hopes and dreams.”
“Celta fans really thought a penalty was enough to derail us,” a fan remarked. “We’re Madrid—extra time is where we thrive.” Another added, “Endrick just made your defenders look like cones. And that backheel? Pure disrespect!”
Fans also couldn’t resist highlighting Madrid’s comeback spirit, with one saying, “This is why we’re kings of Europe. Pressure makes us better; it makes you fold.”
Some fans were especially critical of Celta’s premature celebrations. “Y’all got excited at 2-2 like the match was over. Rookie mistake,” one wrote.
Another taunted, “Celebrating a penalty like you’ve won? Madrid isn’t Villarreal, my friend. We actually finish our business.”
The night might have ended in heartbreak for Celta, but for Madridistas, it was another chapter in their club’s legendary story—and an opportunity to remind rivals never to underestimate Los Blancos.
