Real vs Sevilla in Copa last 16
Print Edition
REAL Madrid will play Sevilla in the Round of 16 of the Copa del Rey in a rematch of the European Super Cup final, while defending champion Barcelona will face Athletic Bilbao in a rematch of the Copa final two seasons ago.
Real defeated Sevilla in extra time to win the Super Cup four months ago. The teams are only four points apart atop the Spanish league, with Real first and Sevilla third. Both teams made it to the knockout round of the UEFA Champions League.
Sevilla lost last season’s Copa final to Barcelona, which is seeking its third straight title in Spain’s second-most important club competition.
Barcelona won its record 28th Copa title last season, when Real was disqualified in the opening round for fielding an ineligible player.
Atletico Madrid will play Las Palmas, the team it defeated 1-0 last weekend in its final Spanish league game of the year.
Valencia, still struggling under coach Cesare Prandelli, will meet Celta Vigo, while Villarreal takes on Real Sociedad. Villarreal is fourth in the Spanish league, one spot ahead of Sociedad.
Elsewhere, Deportivo La Coruna faces Alaves and Osasuna meets Eibar while the two second-division clubs in the draw, Cordoba and Alcorcon, will get to play each other.
Alcorcon eliminated top-tier Espanyol with a 4-3 victory in a penalty shootout on Thursday.
Gerardo Moreno and Jose Manuel Jurado missed penalties for Espanyol as Alcorcon advanced as the second leg finished 1-1 after both regulation and extra time — and 2-2 on aggregate.
First-leg matches will be played in the first week of January.
