Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti had some special praise for Brazilian duo Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, who starred in their Copa del Rey triumph on Saturday.
Rodrygo bagged a brace as Los Blancos secured their 20th Copa del Rey title after defeating Osasuna 2-1 in the final.
Vinicius played a key role in both goals and was a real problem for the Osasuna defence throughout the encounter.

"We played well for 30 minutes, Vinicius was unstoppable," Ancelotti said in his post-match news conference.
"After that we lost our nerve a bit. The team wasn't calm. I calmed them down a bit [at half-time]."
"This team has to do one thing, which is to play football, which we do well," Ancelotti said.
"Anything else means losing control, and concentration. We have to play football. The second half didn't start well, they equalised, and fortunately Rodrygo changed the dynamic."
"We don't know [Rodrygo's] ceiling.
"It's hard to say. He's a very elegant player, he can score goals, and he's progressing in a spectacular way."
