In the King's Cup, on Tuesday evening, five return In the first match, the Madrid "Real" club, who had defeated their opponents 2-0 at home, had to listen to their fans' disappointment after failing to secure a victory against the "Fuenlabrada" team, which competes in the country's third league in terms of strength. Zinedine Zidane relied on youth and almost got caught - three reserve team players played in the starting lineup and the main team struggled to perform, nearly not receiving contributions from Borja Mayoral, Achraf Hakimi, Dani Ceballos, Marcos Llorente, and Theo Hernandez. In the 25th minute, the opponents unexpectedly took the lead - Luis Milla unleashed a true "bomb" from about 25 meters and after returning from injury, Keylor Navas failed to stop this shot. However, in the second half, from the 62nd minute onwards, Gareth Bale appeared on the field and kept "Real" safe - it was precisely after his pass that Borja Mayoral scored, and in the 70th minute, the same B. Mayoral put "Real" ahead by correcting G. Bale's shot. The celebration at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium did not last long - in the 89th minute, the opponents managed to equalize the score, although it did not matter to the hosts. They advanced to the quarterfinals with an overall score of 4-2, but the draw did not satisfy neither the fans nor the clearly enraged Zinedine Zidane. Also joining the quarterfinals were "Leganes", "Numancia", "Celta", and Valencia's "Levante".
