Real Madrid beat city rivals Atletico Madrid after extra time to advance to the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey. Atletico took the lead with Alvaro Morata scoring from close range following Nahuel Molina’s low cross.

Real were 11 minutes from going out but equalized when Rodrygo beat three players and scored a wonderful goal. Atletico’s Stefan Savic was sent off two bookable offences, before Karim Benzema put Real ahead in the 104th minute with Vinicius Jr adding a third.

Benzema steered a low shot past Jan Oblak after the visitors had failed to deal with March Asensio’s low cross and Vinicius Jr sealed the victory as he passed the ball into the bottom corner after a fine run.

Barcelona and Osasuna beat Real Sociedad and Sevilla respectively in their quater-finals and Athletic Bilbao won 3-1 at Valencia to join them in the semi-finals. The draw for the final tour will take place on Monday, 30 January with the first legs in early February and the second legs in the beginning of March, before the final on 6 May.

Earlier on Thursday, La Liga said it “strongly condemns acts of hatred and intimidation against Vinicius Jr” after an effigy of the Real Madrid winger was hung from a bridge near the club’s training ground.

A banner reading “Madrid hates Real” was attached to the bridge railings, with Atletico calling the incident “repugnant”.
