Starting on 5 January 2022 at 20:30 UTC at Estadio El Collao stadium in Alcoy city, Spain, CD Alcoyano will face Real Madrid. The game is part of the Copa del Rey tournament. When Real Madrid takes on Alcoyano at Campo Municipal El Collao on Wednesday night, they will be attempting to qualify for the Copa del Rey’s last-16 stage.
Los Blancos are coming off a 1-0 defeat to Getafe in La Liga, while Alcoyano lost 1-0 to Linense in their last league match on December 18. Alcoyano, who play in Spain’s third division, reached the last-16 stage of the Copa del Rey previous season, which was their greatest ever result in the competition.
Deportivo is now attempting to reach the round of 16 for the second time, despite receiving possibly the toughest draw of all, with Real Madrid as their opponents in the competition’s last-32 stage. However, at the same point of last season’s tournament, the lower-league side won a stunning 2-1 triumph over Los Blancos, with the hosts scoring an extra-time goal to secure a huge result.
Alcoyano has played in La Liga four times before, but not since 1950-51, when they were demoted to the second tier after finishing 15th. Vicente Parras’ team has advanced to the third round of this season’s championship after defeating Badajoz and Levante, however they lost their last league game at Linense on December 18, leaving them in 11th place in their domestic table, level on points with Real Madrid Castilla.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, is the third-most successful team in Copa del Rey history, having won the cup 19 times, but they haven’t won since the 2013-14 season. This season, the Spanish Cup is ranked third on the team’s priority list, behind La Liga and the Champions League, although Ancelotti will be anxious to win as many trophies as possible.
Real Madrid, who were defeated 1-0 by Getafe in La Liga on Sunday, lost their previous Copa del Rey match away to Alcoyano last season, and the capital giants will be wary of a repeat performance today. Los Blancos have had a strong start to the 2021-22 season, sitting atop La Liga with an eight-point lead over second-placed Sevilla and qualifying for the Champions League’s last-16 stage as section champions, where they were drawn against Paris Saint-Germain.
