well no doubt about it the nerves have been jangling in the last few days but very soon
the wait will be over i'm derek ray joined by lee dixon in the commentary box and we're just
seconds away from kickoff in what promises to be a thrilling finale it's real madrid against espanol
well all the hard work to get to a cup final don't disappoint yourself don't disappoint those fans
go out and make it yours make that cup something you're really proud to win
well you get the feeling so many in attendance here have come
just to see this man killian and vape well basically you've got to keep him
out the box because he's got such a brilliant finishing ability that you give him half a yard
he will score so keep him as far away from your goal as possible
starting players for real madrid tebow courtois begins in goal
cavagal plays with marcelo in the fullback positions luka modric plays with casimiro
in the center of the pitch and beginning the game up front today karine benzema
the opposition starting eleven would you call it four five one lee yeah i really like this
formation derek four two three one really two central midfield players supplying support
to a three ahead of them and then a lone striker with the number 10 just behind him
and now they get the ball rolling
in possession marcelo
david alaba
passes like that very much in his repertoire
real madrid have given us away
and they'll get ready for the throw in
federico valverde
there it is how about that for starters
well what a huge moment that might be for this club the fans are going absolutely wild
well sometimes being at the right place at the right time gets you a goal on this occasion
it's a simple goal from his point of view another goal again albeit from a different angle
well all the hard work has paid off but the
manager knows a lot more has to be done to secure this game
a meaty but fair challenge and it will be a throw-in well that's the moment he would
like to airbrush from history he's thrown it straight to the opposition
azar marcelo
well it was a very good looking move but alas no end product
darter
and barbara
a promising looking attack but comes to nothing in the end
from vape he's got space
kellyanne oh crucial tackle brilliant
i'll find reading of the situation
marcelo here's valverde space and time for the cross crossed accurately towards the far
post i'm getting a strong fist on the ball so a corner kick it'll be following the deflection
they're going to be very hard to catch now name of the trophy maybe
well here's the replay it's a dangerous set piece into the box and he gets up for the
header quite frankly it's a lovely finish brilliant goal a chance to revisit the goal
oh he's giving us away real madrid certainly enjoying the bulk of possession here
and all of their team are enjoying this performance that's why they're
winning and that's why they're one of the best teams casimiro
and possession given away
dante excellent ball over the top using a strength to shield the ball
over the touch line for a throw in and space for the cross
cuado
looks promising this good use of the ball but can they trouble the defense wonderful challenge
and a throw-in coming up ran it well and a throw-in it's going to be
marcelo and just one minute of time added on for stoppages
this is looking threat and he's made headway a good defending cluttered out of there
and the whistle is sounded for half time in this game
plenty to consider based on what we've seen so far as the second half begins
leandro
on the ball david lopez they've won back possession racing forward trying to catch them out
aidan azar he's protecting it effectively well not the bars he had in mind
puerto now they're on the scent of something positive not a good pass
he's enjoying space
no advantage with them referee says play on clear foul play and as a result a free-kick forthcoming
job done defensively by marcelo well that pass easy on the eye
great opportunity really important piece of last ditch defending
beautifully disguised ball
thomas oh yes it's gone in and now a chance for them to revel in the moment
well here it is a striker's bread and butter simple finish but it's
the positioning that gets him the goal a chance to revisit the goal
well two wanteds here
we're now inside the final 20 minutes of the game lost possession
play towards the back post
you are still behind derrick aren't they but how what incredible goalkeeping that was
room to roam for the merengues here benzema
can he convert simple save really
good pass how can they turn one of these attacks into a goal
10 minutes left for play in this match
struggle to keep the ball from real
pedrosa
the tackle take it away with the noses in front in the second half what will be the thinking in the
cap lee dixon well all the rail players will be looking up at that clock that's dangerous time is
heaving away they have such a delicate lead will they rue those missed chances they could be costly
it's with sergey can they fashion something they need a goal
he made it look simple really and we will have just one additional minute
daytonas and the final whistle the cup issue is settled a story of one side celebrating and the
other distraught and late memories are being made yeah absolutely it doesn't matter how much money
you've got in the bank players will always look back at moments like these these moments where you
