Copa del Rey draw crosses: matches, pairings and quarterfinal schedules

In this raffle it has been determined who will be the team rivals in this next round where they will compete for a place in the quarterfinals. It will be the last time that the clubs play the single match classification in this season, since those who make it to the semifinals will risk their presence in the final in a round-trip eliminator.

Teams classified for the Copa del Rey quarterfinals

Eight teams This past week they certified their qualification for the quarterfinals, where there are only First Division candidates left after the elimination of Pontevedra, Elche and Ourense in their respective matches. The ones we will see again in this new eliminatory round are the three top contenders to lift the Cup: FC Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid.

Hansi Flick’s team managed to easily win (5-1) against a Real Betis that barely put up any resistance thanks to a brilliant Lamine Yamal. Simeone’s team experienced the same thing at the Martínez Valero, where they managed to certify their pass by crushing Elche by 4 goals to 0. It took a little longer for Ancelotti’s team to certify their pass to the quarterfinals. A match that seemed doomed despite the controversy was complicated for the whites and they needed extra time and a brilliant Endrick, with a providential double, to finish off a Celta (5-2) that dreamed until the last minutes of eliminating one of the great favorites.

The one who will not be able to aspire to the title is the current champion of the competition, the Athletic Club of Bilbaowho lost 2 to 3 against one of the great surprises of the season: the Osasuna by Vicente Moreno. Ernesto Valverde’s men were unable to recover in a match in which they were always behind on the scoreboard and are left without the possibility of repeating the feat of 2024.

Crossovers and quarterfinal matches of the Copa del Rey
