It was Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid that came out on top this evening in the first leg of their Copa Del Rey Quarter final against local rivals Athletico Madrid. After a lively start it was the visitors Athletico who took a shock lead and silenced the Bernanbau home fans after a Diego Forlan strike early on. However it wasn’t long before Real struck level thanks to a Sergio Ramos bullet header and goals were added by Cristiano Ronaldo and Mesut Ozil to secure the victory. After tonight’s disappointing defeat Athletico Madrid’s hopes of reaching the next round lie severely in the balance.
