The quarterfinal draw of the Copa del Rey, held at the Ciudad del Fútbol in Las Rozas, has unveiled thrilling matchups. Highlights include Valencia vs. Barcelona and Leganés vs. Real Madrid, while Real Sociedad will take on Osasuna, and Atlético Madrid faces Getafe.

Real Madrid Returns to a Scene of Heartbreak

Real Madrid will travel to Leganés, reviving memories of one of their most painful Copa del Rey moments. In the 2018 edition, the "Pepineros" shocked the Madrid giants in this very round. After losing 0-1 in the first leg, Leganés stunned the Santiago Bernabéu with a historic 1-2 victory to progress. Of the 15 official meetings between the sides, Leganés has won only twice—both in the Copa del Rey.

Under Carlo Ancelotti, and fresh off reclaiming the LaLiga EA Sports top spot, Madrid will aim to avoid any surprises as they pursue domestic silverware.

Atlético Madrid Faces Familiar Favorites in Getafe

Atlético Madrid, recovering from a setback that cost them their league lead, will face Getafe in a Madrid derby. Historically, Diego Simeone's side has dominated this fixture, with 21 wins and five draws in 26 encounters, conceding just one goal in the last 19 games. Their only previous Copa meeting was in the 2012-2013 round of 16, where Atlético cruised to a 3-0 aggregate victory.

Barcelona Returns to Mestalla Fresh Off Supercopa Glory

Fresh from their emphatic Supercopa de España triumph over Real Madrid, Barcelona will visit Valencia at Mestalla. Hansi Flick's squad has been in stellar form, boasting seven wins and two draws in their last nine encounters against the "Che" side.

However, history reminds them of the 2019 Copa del Rey final, where Valencia triumphed 2-1 at the Benito Villamarín. The Catalans will be determined to avoid a repeat as they aim to add another trophy this season.

Real Sociedad and Osasuna: A Familiar Matchup

The final quarterfinal pairing features Real Sociedad and Osasuna, a repeat of last season’s round-of-16 clash. In that encounter, Imanol Alguacil's men secured a 2-0 victory in Pamplona, with goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Mikel Merino. This time, the match will take place in San Sebastián, where Sociedad will look to extend their strong cup form.
