Manager Carlo Ancelotti praised Real Madrid’s youngsters after they helped the team to a 3-2 win at Leganés — with Gonzalo García, 20, scoring a 93rd minute winner — in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals on Wednesday.
A much-changed Madrid side, which included young defenders Raúl Asencio, 21, and Jacobo Ramón, 20, as well as attacking players Arda Güler, 19, and Endrick, 18, went 2-0 up at Butarque thanks to goals from veteran Luka Modric and Endrick, before a brace from the hosts’ Juan Cruz tied the game at 2-2.
