BARCELONA (Reuters) - Raphael Varane converted two corners as a second-string Real Madrid began the defence of their King’s Cup crown with a 4-1 victory against third-tier part-timers Cornella on Wednesday.

The last-32, first leg pitted the world's richest club by income, with annual revenues of more than 600 million euros (473.28 million pounds), against a club with a budget of around 1 million euros a season, who were promoted to Spain's regional Segunda B for the first time at the end of last term.
