Talavera goalkeeper Jaime González lambasted the performance of Real Madrid after Wednesday’s Copa del Rey clash against the Spanish giants, scoffing at the “unbelievable” tactics Xabi Alonso’s side had to deploy to narrowly escape a huge upset.
Jaime was surprisingly confident for a keeper who had just conceded three goals, the last of which was an embarrassing blunder as Kylian Mbappé’s central shot squirted off the uneven turf and through his gloves. Madrid qualified for the round of 16 with a 3–2 win but had to rely upon Jaime’s counterpart, Andriy Lunin, to make an excellent save in stoppage time to avoid a dramatic equalizer from the third-tier outfit.
