In the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, Militang and Asensio scored one goal each, Isco made a dragon, and Real Madrid defeated the third-tier team Alcoiano 3-1 away from home to advance to the round of 16.
Last season, Real Madrid were eliminated by Alcoyano 2-1 in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals 2-1. After 1 year, Real Madrid finally completed their revenge. Eden Hazard, 30, has started in this game, his third start in his last four games, and Ancelotti has given him a chance.
In this "game of abuse", Hazard also played a rare highlight performance, he not only assisted Asensio to score a goal that led again, but also sent a game-high 4 key passes, including one in the box 1V3 circle back knock, almost assisted Valverde's goal. In addition, Hazard also made 5 fouls against his opponents, which is also the highest in the game.
In this 3-1 victory, Hazard finally finished with his second assist of the season. His last assist to a Real Madrid teammate's goal was 145 days ago, when he assisted Benzema in the first round of la Liga's 4-1 win over Alaves in which he scored the opening goal. With a transfer fee of €100 million and an annual salary of €15 million, Hazard contributed only 2 assists in the middle of the season without scoring. In his two and a half seasons at Real Madrid, he has only scored 5 goals.
Hazard ushered in a small outburst, which made Ancelotti feel very happy. Speaking in the post-match press conference, Ancelotti said: "I hope to see a confident Hazard soon, he should have confidence in himself because he has the ability to do it. He's in much better shape than in previous months and hopefully he'll get back to his best as soon as possible. ”
