Madrid (B2B) - Cristiano Ronaldo mencetak dua gol dari titik penalti namun juga dilempari kembang api oleh pendukung Atletico saat Real Madrid memastikan tempatnya pada final Copa del Rey atau Piala Raja dengan menang 2-0 (agregat 5-0) atas juara bertahan Atletico Madrid.
Upaya Atletico bangkit dari kekalahan 0-3 di Santiago Bernabeu pekan lalu hancur berantakan hanya pada tujuh menit laga setelah Ronaldo mencetak gol menyusul pelanggaran oleh Manquillo.
Bintang Portugal ini menggandakan golnya sembilan menit kemudian, juga dari titik penalti, setelah Gareth Bale dijatuhkan Emiliano Insua, seperti dilansir Yahoo News.
Setelah mendapatkan kartu kuning usai cekcok dengan Manquillo, Ronaldo dilempari kembang api oleh pendukung Atletico dan mengenai kepalanya selagi berjalan ke ruang ganti pemain usai babak pertama berakhir. Tapi peraih Ballon d´Or ini berlanjut main di babak kedua.
Real akan menghadapi Barcelona atau Real Sociedad pada final 19 April nanti, dan Barca sudah unggul 2-0 menjelang laga leg kedua semifinal Kamis dini hari nanti.
Bos Atletico Diego Simeone sepertinya akan menyerah karena tak bisa menurunkan sejumlah pemain andalannya seperti Juanfran, Diego Godin, dan Arda Turan, sedangkan sekitar empat pemain lainnya absen karena cedera dan terkena larangan bermain.
Sebaliknya pelatih Real Carlo Ancelotti bisa menurunkan tim terkuatnya dan itu dibalas dengan gol tandang begitu Ronaldo mengonversi satu tendangan penalti setelah dia dilanggar Manquillo di kotak penalti.
Atletico berusaha bangkit lewat Raul Garcia beberapa saat kemudian, namun pada menit 16 kembali kebobolan menjadi 2-0 setelah kali ini Bale dijatuhkan Insua dan Ronaldo sukses melepaskan tendangan penalti yang mengarah sudut kanan gawang Atletico yang dijaga Daniel Aranzubia.
Ronaldo tak bisa mengulangi sukses trigolnya pada pertandingan sebelumnya dan kemudian digantikan Jese Rodriguez pada 15 menit waktu terakhir, sedangkan upaya Bale dan Isco digagalkan Aranzubia ketika Real terus bernafsu menambah gol di babak kedua.
Sementara upaya Jose Sosa yang digagalkan Iker Casillas menjadi peluang terbaik Atletico pada pertandingan ini.
Madrid - Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice from the penalty spot and was also hit on the head by a lighter thrown from the crowd as Real Madrid sealed their place in the Copa del Rey final with a 2-0 win (5-0 on aggregate) over holders Atletico Madrid.
Any chance of Atletico recovering from their 3-0 defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu last week was extinguished after just seven minutes when Ronaldo opened the scoring after being upended by Manquillo.
The Portuguese star doubled his tally nine minutes later from another penalty as this time Gareth Bale was felled by Emiliano Insua.
Ronaldo´s eventful evening continued as, moments after being booked for a clash with Manquillo, he was then hit by a lighter thrown by the Atletico fans as the players headed to the dressing rooms at half-time. The Ballon d´Or winner was however fit to continue at the start of the second-half before being substituted late on.
Real will face either Barcelona or Real Sociedad in the final on April 19 with Barca holding a 2-0 advantage heading into the second leg of their semi-final on Wednesday.
Atletico boss Diego Simeone appeared to have given up any hope of an unlikely comeback from the off as he rested Juanfran, Diego Godin, Arda Turan and captain Gabi, whilst four more first-team regulars missed out through injury and suspension.
Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti insisted that Ronaldo was fine after being struck and lauded his side´s feat of reaching the final on the back of eight consecutive clean sheets in the Cup this season.
Atletico briefly threatened a revival when Raul Garcia struck the post moments later. However, it was 2-0 after just 16 minutes as this time Bale went down under a challenge by Insua and Ronaldo again struck the resulting spot-kick low into the right-hand corner of Daniel Aranzubia´s net.
The former Manchester United man did return for the second period, but he was unable to complete his hat-trick before being replaced by Jese Rodriguez 15 minutes from time.
Meanwhile, at the other end, Jose Sosa´s drive that forced Iker Casillas into a flying save was the best that Atletico could muster as they slipped to their first home defeat of the season.
"Cristiano is fine, he scored two goals and he doesn´t have any problems," he said.
