Following Rodrygo's two goals in the Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti said that the Brazilian striker is improving "spectacularly."
Real Madrid defeated Osasuna in the Copa del Rey final to win the trophy. The team led by Carlo Ancelotti defeated Osasuna 2-1 in the championship game.
Real Madrid took an early lead with Rodrygo in the game's second minute, but Osasuna responded through Lucas Torro's equalizing goal in the 58th.
However, Rodrygo gave Real Madrid a 2-1 lead in the 70th minute with his second goal of the game. Then Real Madrid would win the match and the Copa del Rey trophy.
After Real Madrid won the Copa del Rey, Carlo Ancelotti was all praise for Rodrygo, saying that the player is developing in an amazing manner.
“This team has to do one thing, which is to play football, which we do well,” Carlo Ancelotti said [via ESPN]. “Anything else means losing control, and concentration. We have to play football. The second half didn’t start well, they equalised, and fortunately Rodrygo changed the dynamic.”
Carlo Ancelotti added: “We don’t know [Rodrygo’s] ceiling. It’s hard to say. He’s a very elegant player, he can score goals, and he’s progressing in a spectacular way.”
In the Copa del Rey championship, Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr. also performed well. The Brazilian was praised by Carlo Ancelotti as "unstoppable." He stated:
“We played well for 30 minutes, Vinicius was unstoppable. After that we lost our nerve a bit. The team wasn’t calm. I calmed them down a bit [at half-time].”
