The draw for the round of 32 of the Spanish King’s Cup was held on Monday evening, which resulted in easy confrontations for the two giants Real Madrid and Barcelona.
As for Barça, it will once again face Barbastro, the same team that played against it in the same round in last season’s edition and won 3-2.
As for Real Madrid, the draw dropped it to face Deportiva Minera.
The common denominator between the rivals of Barcelona and Real Madrid is that both were the champions of major surprises in the first round.
Papastro succeeded in eliminating another Catalan club, Espanyol, by winning 2-0, and Minera outperformed Alaves on penalties.
In general, the first round witnessed many surprises, perhaps the most prominent of which was the farewell of the holder Girona against Logroñés, and the other giant Villarreal at the hands of Pontevedra.
Real Madrid and Barcelona, as well as Athletic Bilbao and Mallorca, will exceptionally play their Copa del Rey Round of 32 matches early, specifically between January 4 and 5, 2025, before travelling to Saudi Arabia to play the Spanish Super Cup.
