The win for the White Angels ends Barcelona's dominance over Carlo Ancelotti's side in the head-to-head record between the two giants this season.

As expected, Vini, arguably Real Madrid's best player this campaign, broke the game's deadlock before Benzema turned the tie on its head with his three second-half goals.

But one moment of magic by the 22-year-old winger left an impression on most social media users.

Vinicius Junior's magic

With the zippy winger closely marked by Jules Kounde, Vinicius allowed a pass from Eduardo Camavinga to slip through his legs which caught the Barcelona defender unaware.

He then swerved Kounde leaving him for dead with his blistering pace, before darting into the box and eventually setting up Asensio, whose effort was expertly parried away by Marc Andre Ter Stegen.

Here is the video:

Madrid hammer Barcelona

Real Madrid superstar Karim Benzema netted an incredible hattrick in the second half as Los Blancos hammer Barcelona 4-0 at the Nou Camp to reach the Copa del Rey final.

The hosts, who led 1-0 from the first leg, were taught a lesson in their backyard on Wednesday evening as Los Blancos ran riot to secure a 4-1 aggregate victory.

After a positive start from Barcelona, Vinicius Junior gave the visitors the lead, prodding home a deflected attempt from Karim Benzema's pullback.

Vini bullies Gavi

Sports Brief also reported on Vinicius Junior and Gavi going at each other during Wednesday evening's Copa del Rey semi-final clash between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The zippy winger and Gavi were involved in a moment of madness in the first half of the Spanish Cup.

Vini was directly in the face of Gavi as the pair exchanged a couple of words before the former pushed the Spanish youngster away.
