The crisis of Royal Madrid continues - on Thursday, they played at home 1-1 with the Sevilla team, which is at the bottom of the Spanish championship standings, and were eliminated from the fight for this trophy in the return leg of the King's Cup (Copa del Rey).
The first leg in Seville ended in a goalless draw, so "Betis" advanced due to an away goal.
"Real" took the lead in the match after five minutes with a goal scored by Brazilian Robinho, but before the end of the first half, Daniel from Spain equalized the result with a header.
Although the Royal club tried to attack, without the guidance of their coach, the troubles encountered by David Beckham, Ronaldo and Antonio Cassano caused "Real" to lack sharpness in their offense.
Real Madrid has not won the King's Cup since 1993, but many fans hoped that this particular trophy would finally end the club's streak of seasons without trophies.
The team "Betis", who won this tournament in 2005, will compete in the quarterfinals with "Barcelona", "Sevilla", "Osasuna", "Deportivo", "Zaragoza", "Getafe" and the second division team "Valladolid".
The draw that will determine these teams into four pairings will take place on Friday afternoon.
