Karim Benzema hit two to put Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey semis with a 3-1 win at Girona (7-3 aggregate) on Thursday.

The French forward, who scored two against Espanyol last weekend, is in red-hot form and Eusebio Sacristan's men paid the price at Montilivi.

Pere Pons pulled a goal back after Benzema's double, but Marcos Llorente extended Madrid's lead again on the night.

The semi-final draw takes place at the Benito Villamarin stadium in Seville, where the final will be held, on Friday at 1.30pm CET.

 

Real Madrid, reigning champions Barcelona, Valencia and Real Betis are in the draw.
