Real Madrid secured a 4-0 victory against Barcelona on Wednesday on the road to advance to the Copa del Rey final, according to Anadolu Agency.

Los Blancos broke the deadlock with a close-range finish from Vinicius Junior in the 45th minute at Camp Nou.

Karim Benzema scored goals in the 50th, 58th and 80th minutes as he netted his second hat-trick in three days.
