A brilliant brace from 18-year-old Endrick saved Real Madrid from a shocking collapse and sent Los Blancos through to the Copa del Rey quarterfinals.

Real Madrid got off to slow start against Celta Vigo and received plenty of whistles from the crowd at the Santiago Bernabéu until Kylian Mbappé found the back of the net in the 37th minute. The Frenchman took it himself from his own half down the left side of the pitch, beat Javi Rodríguez with a stepover and then slotted home a left-footed finish from a tight angle.

Vinícius Júnior doubled Los Blancos' lead just three minutes into the second half. Mbappé dropped into the midfield to receive the ball and then sent a pinpoint pass forward to Brahim Díaz, who played the Brazilian through on goal.

An awful giveaway from Eduardo Camavinga gifted Jonathan Bamba a goal in the 83rd minute. Then, Raúl Asencio committed a clumsy challenge on Bamba that was immediately whistled for a penalty. Marcos Alonso stepped up to the spot and secured extra time for Celta Vigo.

An unlikely hero in Endrick bagged the winner for Los Blancos in the 108th minute. The Brazilian received the ball from Arda Güler at the edge of the box, turned and fired a powerful shot into the back of the net. Fede Valverde then all-but secured Real Madrid's spot in the quarterfinals with another outrageous goal from distance.

Endrick ended the night with an exclamation point when he scored a backheel goal to give Real Madrid the 5–2 victory.
