They’re not that massive for no reason. Whenever Real Madrid’s stars have a somewhat shy outing, or Carlo Ancelotti decides it’s time for them to take a rest, someone else – until then in the shadows – shows up in the starring role and makes sure we remember his name for good.That’s precisely what Gonzalo Garcia did last night at Leganes when he scored an injury-time winner in a 3-2 Copa del Rey win. The 20-year-old forward came out of the blue, and exploited the fact Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham were not present on the pitch, to push his side to semi-finals.In the last game with Real Madrid Castilla, Gonzalo Garcia scored 4 goals.So far this season, he has scored 19 goals, 3 hattricks for Real Madrid Castilla.Tonight he scored the 93rd minute winner to send Real Madrid through to Copa Del Rey semifinals.MADRIDISTA! 🤍 pic.twitter.com/fh9ZrUB6sz— Madrid Zone (@theMadridZone) February 5, 2025 The charming hosts – who recently defeated Atletico Madrid in their La Liga encounter – were seconds away from a penalty shootout after trailing 2-0 against Los Blancos. Veteran Modric and teenager Endrick put their names on the scoreboard in the first half, but the home side miraculously bounced back with Juan Cruz’s two goals.The stage was set for a proper drama, with Garcia heading home Brahim Diaz’s ball in the dying minutes for a win that might not be as significant as an eventual loss would be dreadful for the 15-time European champion.I WANTED IT I WANTED AND HOPED SO BAD FOR THAT LAST MINUTE GOAL I KNEW IT – GONZALO GARCIA SAVES ANCELOTTIKINGS OF COMEBACKSpic.twitter.com/aB4S0co3UX— Gina (@Serginaoo) February 5, 2025 COPA DEL REY – SPANISH CUPQuarter-finalsTuesdayAtl.Madrid – Getafe 5-0 (3-0)/Simeone 8, 17, Lino 42, Correa 78, Sorloth 86/WednesdayLeganes – Real Madrid 2-3 (1-2)/Cruz 39 pen, 59 – Modric 18, Endrick 25, Garcia G. 90+3/Thursday21:30: (1.80) Sociedad (3.50) Osasuna (4.70)23:30: (7.00) Valencia (4.50) Barcelona (1.45)***odds are subject to change***
