Defending Copa del Rey champions Real Madrid get started in this year’s competition against fourth tier side Arandina on Saturday. Los Blancos are the competition’s third most titled club with 20 Spanish cup trophies to their name but they will be out to avoid a shock loss here against one of two tier four clubs left in the competition along with Barcelona’s opponents Barbastro. Arandina won promotion from Tercera Federacion to Segunda Federacion for this season but they are bottom of Group 1 with just 10 points while Real top La Liga and are coming into this one off the back of a 1-0 win over Real Mallorca. Carlo Ancelotti’s men have won 15 of their 19 league games so far, but only lead surprise package Girona on their head-to-head record with a 10-point gap between them and Atletico Madrid in third. Real face Atleti in the Spanish Supercopa semifinal in Riyadh next week with Barca and Osasuna the other semifinalists.
