#5 Nacho’s goal was Puskas-worthy
Trending
Given how unceremoniously Real Madrid were dumped out of the Copa del Rey last season, the likes of Mariano, Fabio Coentrao and even Isco and James Radriguez can be grateful for the chance that the competition offers to force themselves into Zidane’s first team plans. None moreso, than Nacho
I won’t even bother to describe the goal that left James Rodriguez wide-eyed in disbelief. Just look at it:
Speaking after the game, Zidane gushed about that goal, claiming it was even better that his famous strike in the 2002 UEFA Champions League final. He said, “What Nacho did is not normal. I'm happy for him. It's a goal that will go down in history. It is better than mine from 'La Novena' [Madrid's ninth Champions League title triumph].”
It capped off a wonderful night for Madrid’s goalscorers, with Mariano becoming the 18th different player to score for Madrid this season, while Coentrao remains the only defender in the squad not to have scored.
