Real Madrid survived a major scare in the Copa del Rey, narrowly escaping an upset with a 3-2 victory over a resilient CF Talavera at the Estadio El Prado, Softfootball reported. While the win extends Madrids unbeaten run to eight matches across all competitions, the Spanish giants were made to sweat until the final whistle by the lower-league side.
Real Madrid shared a post of the result via their official X account .
One month ago, Real Madrid Castilla beat CF Talavera 1-0 in a league fixture. Now, it was the first team's turn, after the third division outfit drew the biggest team in the world out of the hat. They'd be up against Kylian Mbappe, who started up top, alongside Gonzalo Garcia and Endrick. Franco Mastantuono was deployed just behind them, with Castilla full-back David Jimenez getting a much deserved opportunity. Andriy Lunin captained the side this afternoon.
