David Alaba’s Nightmare Night: Two Own Goals in Five Minutes as Real Madrid Battles Real Sociedad
Real Madrid’s David Alaba endured a horrific evening in the Copa del Rey clash against Real Sociedad, committing two own goals in a shocking five-minute span.
Alaba’s Nightmare Start
The Austrian defender, usually a pillar of defensive stability, had an uncharacteristically disastrous performance, scoring an own goal that handed Sociedad a 2-1 lead. Moments later, his misfortune compounded, as another defensive mishap saw him deflect the ball into his own net again—a rare and humiliating sequence.
This was Alaba’s first Copa del Rey start this season, making the night all the more painful for both him and the team.
Real Madrid’s Fighting Spirit
Despite the early setbacks, Los Blancos demonstrated their trademark resilience, quickly rallying to level the match at 3-3, keeping their aggregate advantage intact.
Endrick’s Stunning Performance
While Alaba struggled, young Brazilian sensation Endrick stole the spotlight with a brilliant goal reminiscent of Real Madrid legend Raúl. His moment of magic not only rescued Madrid but also cemented his place as a rising star in the club’s Copa del Rey campaign.
As Madrid marches toward the final, the spotlight will remain on Endrick’s growth—and whether Alaba can put this nightmare behind him.
