Real Madrid crashed out of the Copa del Rey in the round of 16, succumbing to a 4-2 defeat against city rivals Atlético Madrid at the Civitas Metropolitano.

Despite Joselu’s late equaliser that pushed the game into extra time, Real Madrid’s defensive lapses proved costly as they made far too many mistakes, ultimately resulting in their elimination.

Player ratings:

Starting XI:

Andriy Lunin: 4/10

Started ahead of Kepa for the second successive game. The Ukrainian gifted Atlético their second goal and should’ve done a lot better for their third.

Dani Carvajal: 6/10

Didn’t track Lino for Atlético’s first goal and was not at the form we’ve come to expect of him this season.

Antonio Rüdiger: 6/10

At fault for Atlético’s opener and wasn’t as solid and reassuring at the back as he has so often been this season. Underwhelming.

Nacho Fernandez: 6/10

Didn’t do much wrong throughout.

Ferland Mendy: 6.5/10

Rodrygo Goes: 6/10

Rodrygo struggled to get going but was very unlucky to see a strike rebound off the woodwork in the second half.

Vinicius Jr: 5/10

Substitutions:

Brahim Diaz: 6/10 – Came on to replace Ferland Mendy. The Spaniard couldn’t impact the game.

Toni Kroos: 6/10 – Came on to replace Modric. Real Madrid saw more of the ball with him on the pitch but still lacked control of the game.

Aurélien Tchouaméni: 5/10 – Came on to replace Valverde. The Frenchman was poor since coming on.

Joselu: 7.5/10 – Came on to replace Rodrygo. The Spaniard equalised late on to take the game to extra time.

Dani Ceballos: 6/10 – Came on to replace Nacho. The Spaniard scored only for it to be disallowed for offside.

Fran Garcia: 6/10 – Came on to replace Camavinga late on.
