The Copa del Rey draw is due to get underway at 13:00 CEST, as the business end of the competition, as the final eight are drawn against each other. The Round of 16 ended with a thrilling Madrid derby, and the exit of the final non-La Liga sides, leaving a quarter-final line-up without Real Madrid.
Two Basque sides are through, with Real Sociedad disapatching Osasuna and Athletic Club beating Alaves – the pair faced off recently with Los Leones coming out on top 2-1 winners. Atletico Madrid are the final capital side left, following exits of Getafe to Sevilla, Rayo Vallecano to Girona, and Real Madrid at their own hands.
Barcelona would ordinarily be favourites at this point, but given their unimpressive form, and struggles against Unionistas de Salamanca, there is no certainty against any side currently. Real Mallorca beat Tenerife to become the final island side, which included the most heartwarming gesture of the round from Cyle Larin.
The games will be played in the coming week, on Wednesday the 24th of January, and Thursday the 25th. Stick with us for the draw imminently!
