MADRID (Reuters) - Real Madrid will be eager to bury memories of one of their most embarrassing defeats in recent years when they face third-tier Alcoyano for the second year running in the last 32 of the Copa del Rey on Wednesday.
Twelve months after being humiliated 2-1 by the low-budget team that hails from a small town close to Alicante, Real will return to the El Collao stadium for a re-match that will take place in front of a full house of 4,850 fans. Last year fans were barred from witnessing Alcoyano's giant-killing victory due to the restrictions that were in place to stop the spread of COVID-19.
