RM to face Alcoyano in Round of 32 in CdR competition

 

Real Madrid is to face Alcoyano, a lower-division club, in the Round of 32 in the Copa del Rey competition.  The first leg will be played on Wednesday, October 31^st at El Collao, with the second leg played at home on November 28^th.  There is the possibility of los Blancos meeting Barcelona in the semifinals of the competition if both teams make it to the stage.

 

Speaking of Barcelona, the Blaugranas have also been paired with a lower-division club in the CdR competition.  The current Copa del Rey champions are pitted against Alavés.

While Alcoyano and Alaves play within Segunda B division, it would be a grave mistake on both Madrid and Barcelona parts to underestimate their opponents.  Alcoyano, the team from Alicante, arrive to the Round of 32 unbeaten, eliminating Atlético Baleares and Tenerife.

Good luck, Real Madrid, and good luck to all other competitors participating in the Copa del Rey.
