Real Madrid’s French forward Karim Benzema kicks the ball and scores his team’s fourth goal during the Copa del Rey semi-final second leg football match between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid CF at the Camp Nou stadium in Barcelona on April 5, 2023. AFPPIX: Karim Benzema struck a hat-trick as Real Madrid hammered Barcelona 4-0 at Camp Nou to reach the Copa del Rey final on Wednesday, progressing 4-1 on aggregate.
Los Blancos trail their arch-rivals by 12 points in La Liga and were beaten by Barca in the Spanish Super Cup final in January, but triumphed here to reach the Copa final for the first time since 2014, where they will face Osasuna.“This is the most important moment of the season and when we’re at the right temperature , we’re good.”
The game started at a furious pace and intensity, both teams keen to reach the final, but absolutely desperate not to be knocked out by the other. Los Blancos took the lead in stoppage time at the end of the first half, when they showed their prowess on the counter-attack. The French forward soon was able to pounce though, finishing lethally from the edge of the box in an ocean of space after Luka Modric easily skipped away from Sergi Roberto.
