Antonio Rudiger booked Real Madrid’s place in the Copa del Rey final
Real Madrid overturned a two-goal deficit against Real Sociedad to reach the Copa del Rey final after an extra-time header by substitute Antonio Rudiger secured a barnstorming 4-4 draw on Tuesday for a 5-4 aggregate win.
The visitors gave Real Madrid a scare as they grabbed the lead through Ander Barrenetxea in the 16th minute but a lovely dinked effort by Endrick levelled the score 15 minutes later.
Following a 1-0 win in the first-leg, Carlo Ancelotti's side looked comfortable, with a draw securing them a place in the final.
But strikes by Pablo Marin and Mikel Oyarzabal, which both deflected in off David Alaba, gave Real Sociedad a two-goal lead by the 80th minute.
However, Real hit right back two minutes later as Jude Bellingham fired home a first-time effort from close-range, with Aurelien Tchouameni heading the equaliser from a Rodrygo corner four minutes later.
But Alaba's woeful night was not over yet as he failed to clear a corner and Oyarzabal was left unmarked to head the Basque side's fourth goal three minutes into added time, taking the match to extra time.
