Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos hit back at Ronald Araujo with ‘new era’ dig after their Cops del Rey win over Barcelona.
Real Madrid put Barcelona to the sword in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal to knock them out of the tournament.
After three consecutive defeats to their eternal rivals, Madrid players were in a gala mood right after the final whistle until they left Camp Nou.
As Ceballos was making his way onto the team bus, he was caught chanting “La nueva era!” (the new age) a couple of times.
The midfielder’s chants seemed to be directed towards Araujo who claimed that “it is the beginning of a new era” after the Super Cup win over Los Blancos in January.
Evidently, those comments had not gone down well with Dani who responded in equal measure after their first win over the Catalan club since that 3-1 humbling.
