Real Madrid 5-0 Cornella (agg 9-1): Fantastic James shines in Jese's return for the Whites

Thegoalmac can reveal that Jese Rodriguez had the perfect comeback to the Real Madrid team, scoring shortly after coming on in his first appearance for nine months as his side beat Cornella 5-0 to advance in the Copa del Rey.


 Already leading 4-1 from the first leg, the Liga leaders ended up 9-1 victors across the tie on Tuesday, with two goals from James Rodriguez, one from Isco and an own goal by Borja Lopez preceding Jese's strike.

The Spaniard saw an impressive breakthrough season last term cut short by a serious knee injury in March and he hit the ground running on his return to action, despite the nine month absence.

Carlo Ancelotti's side were almost embarrassed early on when Cornella midfielder Xavi Boniquet won his side a penalty.
Unfortunately for the third-tier part-timers though, the midfielder spurned the opportunity to give them a famous lead by blazing the spot-kick over the bar.
Congrats to Jese for finally making his much awaited comeback.
