Watch Real Madrid go end-to-end in roughly 15 seconds for blistering counter-attack goal
With Barcelona, Atletico and Sevilla all winning earlier on Saturday, Real Madrid needed to topple Real Betis to keep pace in the La Liga title chase. Well, keep pace Real Madrid did, and then some.
Goals were flying all over the place in La Liga, as Barcelona fired in four, Atletico hit seven (!) and Real Madrid scored six. With that many goals to choose from it's difficult to pick a favorite, but this end-to-end effort from Los Blancos was truly a work of art.
That, ladies and gents, is how you counter attack. Real Betis were taking a corner kick, and about 15 seconds later they were plucking the ball out of their own net. That's blisteringly quick, and it all starts with a delicate header from Mateo Kovacic. From there, Real Madrid are off to the races. It takes just six passes (including a savory skidding cross from Cristiano Ronaldo) for Pepe to latch onto and lay off to Isco for the tap-in.
It's breathtaking, but that's OK. You should be able hold your breath that long, anyway.
