Results of the draw for round of the Cup: Madrid and Barca can see their faces again in the quarterfinals

This morning was held in the City of Las Rozas Soccer, home of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, the draw for the finals of the Copa del Rey, defining the crosses from the eighth to the final. The draw was pure, ie, there was no seeding and anyone could touch him either.

So, the draw has brought two very uneven parts of the box as far as the level of equipment is concerned. The first sector, which goes to the SEMIFINAL 1 has a team of Liga Adelante, the Cordoba (which is to get rid of Betis), and two clubs in Segunda B, Miranda (just eliminate Villarreal) and Albacete (which is loaded at Atletico), plus without wanting to detract from anyone, the team's most authentic part of the picture this is the Athletic Club, the second most successful copera history with 23 titles. Just do not forget that Espanyol and Mallorca Cup champions have been in the last decade.

The other part of the picture, which goes to the SEMIFINAL 2, presents much harder. For starters we have a cross between two of the best teams in our league, Valencia and Seville Cup champions in three of the last five editions (2008 those of the Turia, 2007 and 2010 Nervión). This tie looks very interesting for the fight between Emery and Marcelino boards, but above all, by the duel between soldiers and Negredo scoring two nines that will measure their candidates for a place in the plans for Euro Del Bosque. Which is imposed at this junction will measure their strength in the quarterfinals against the winner of Alcorcón-Levante. Anquela those of the other survivor of League Two, will seek to continue giving the note to the Cup this year's surprise team, the East of JIM .

Finally, we have the two cocks of the barnyard. Real Madrid, champions, will face in Malaga, a multi-exmerengues (Pellegrini, Baptista, Van Nistelrooy ...) who is eager after 0-4 league endorsed him. FC Barcelona, ​​meanwhile, will play his pass to the quarterfinals with Osasuna, finalist in 2005. If the two major mature in their heats, will meet for survival in the Cup quarter-final.
