Real Madrid CF 6-1 UD Melilla: 4 takeaways | Copa del Rey 2018-19

#2 Melilla were tired

Real Madrid ran Melilla players into the ground, but the visitors looked tired from the first whistle

Melilla players had to take a 12 hour ferry ride, followed by a 3-hour bus trip to get from their home to Madrid's, and the traveling certainly took it's toll, as the visitors were ripped to shreds by the home side and their abundance of energy.

Real players hounded down Melilla, never allowing them a moment of respite, and were constantly looking to exploit the gaps left at the back by the brave visitors, who valiantly tried to attack every chance they got.

The home side ran circles around their guests, making every chance count, punishing every mistake. Melilla's players and coaches will just be glad about the fact that this tie is over, and they can now focus on their league campaign.
