Rodrygo gives Pele tribute

After 69 minutes, the Brazilian broke the tie by eluding two defenders and scoring. He then celebrated by jumping up and pumping his fist in the air like his fellow countryman and football legend Pele. After passing away last week at the age of 82, Pele's funeral was held in Brazil on Tuesday. Coach Carlo Ancelotti rested important players like Karim Benzema for the journey to the western Extremadura side, who had previously eliminated top-flight Girona, as Madrid made their Cup debut in the round of 32.

Valencia, Villarreal, and Espanyol also reached the round of 16 on Tuesday. The only top-flight match, which ended 1-1 after regular time, saw Espanyol defeat Celta Vigo 3-1 after extra time. With two minutes remaining, Nico Melamed scored the game-winning goal for Espanyol after Argentine goalkeeper Agustn Marchesn of Celta received a second yellow card. Sergi Darder had scored Espanyol's first goal. Sporting Gijon (2-0) and Levante (3-2) eliminated Rayo Vallecano and Getafe from the first flight, respectively. In a local derby, Valencia easily defeated La Nuca 3-0, with Justin Kluivert scoring the game's first goal after three minutes. FC Cartagena unexpectedly took the lead against Villarreal, but the first division team quickly came back to win 5-1 with all their goals in the second half. On Wednesday, Barcelona travels to Intercity, an Alicante third-division squad, while Atletico Madrid takes on Real Oviedo, a second-division team.
Information about Nico Paz, the new Real Madrid wonderkid
Nico Paz, an 18-year-old midfielder who is Spanish and Argentinean, is one of numerous young players from Real Madrid's development system who will play against Cacereno in the Copa del Rey. He is the son of Argentine footballer Pablo Paz, who played for Tenerife and Real Valladolid among other teams, however Nico plays in a totally different manner.
Although he shares genetics with his father, his personality and place on the field are very different. Nico, who made his professional debut with Raul in Castilla last season, is currently working under Alvaro Arbeloa in Real Madrid's Juvenil A, where he was injured at the start of the season but is now healthy and a key player.

Nico Paz is the Real Madrid future

Modern midfielders like Nico are interior midfielders with wide ranges who can cover a lot of territory. In addition to being left-footed and having outstanding vision, he sometimes occasionally uses his right foot. However, his most impressive quality is his stamina. His favorite move is starting on the right flank with his left foot, cutting inside until he gets the space to shoot with his left foot or make the final pass. He drives beautifully and has a great shooting from outside the box, both of which are essential to the play. In addition, while being slower and less athletic than Fede Valverde, he has the ability to score goals in such style. He is very skilled in the air, thus he is a very rounded player.

He forms a strong midfield in Arbeloa's young team alongside players like Chema, Manuel Angel, and Cesar Palacios, the son of the former player of the same name. Paz must have persuaded Ancelotti to rely on him during the recent exhibition game against Getafe. Curiously, three of the young players Ancelotti selected to face Cacereno of the Segunda RFEF are the offspring of Spanish football greats. The renowned goalkeeper for Valencia, Real Madrid, Celta, and the Spanish national team, among others, Santi Canizares, is the father of Lucas Canizares. Alvaro Rodriguez, the son of Coquito Rodriguez and Nico Paz, is a Spanish-Uruguayan. The latter two are still young and undoubtedly will rise to greater fame in the future.
