Real Madrid defender Varane delighted with brace in Copa win

Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane was delighted with his brace in their Copa del Rey win over Cornella.

Real comfortably won the first-leg 4-1.

Varane remarked: "This is the competition where I score the most goals. I'm happy about the game, the victory and my first goals of the season. Hopefully I can score more.

"We have the ability to score from set-pieces and we have to keep doing it because it's good for the team. The crowd were behind us and there were a lot of Madrid fans in the stadium. As for the Ballon d'Or, I don't decide that. Hopefully it will be a Real Madrid player."
