Real Madrid star Rodrygo netted a sensational solo goal in his side's Copa del Rey quarter-final against Atletico Madrid.

The 22-year-old picked the ball from the centre and dribbled past multiple defenders before driving into the box, beating Jan Oblak with a cool strike at his near post.

The Brazilian star's mazy dribble left Axel Witsel on the floor, before Mario Hermoso also made a failed attempt to tackle the Brazilian.

Rodrygo registered his name on the scoresheet in the 79th minute and made the score 1-1 after Alvaro Morata had earlier given Atletico the lead in the first half.

This is just disgusting from Rodrygo. First has the awareness to allow the ball to roll, the agility to turn and accelerate into the box and then the composure inside the box.
