The defender of the cup “Real” will hold a derby as a guest of “Atletico” in the 1/8-finals of the Spanish (King's) Cup. Robert Lewandowski's “Barcelona” faced Unionistas de Salamanca in the third league, which destroyed “Villarreal”. The draw was held on Monday.
Two famous Madrid teams will definitely not consider this draw a success. Especially “Samefo”, because they will play the round of 16 match against Atletico at the stadium of their local rival.
Barcelona might be happier. The Spanish champion went to Unionistas de Salamanca, Lewandowski's team will play away.
