Real Madrid are into the Copa del Rey semifinals after they defeated Girona 3-1.

Karim Benzema scored twice to move up to sixth in Real Madrid's all-time top goalscorers.

Real won the first leg 4-2 and extended their lead in the 27th minute when Benzema curled the ball into the net.

Benzema scored his second of the match just before half-time, striking low into the bottom corner when unmarked.

Pedro Porro pulled one back for Girona, but Marcos Llorente added a third goal for the visitors from 25 yards.

Real coach Santiago Solari declared, "It's the same Karim as we've been seeing for years. I feel sorry for people who have only noticed him since last week. He's incredibly talented and generous in his efforts for the team. He's on a fine run of form and we're all delighted with his goals."
