Of all the trophies in the sport, the Copa del Rey continues to pose a great challenge for Real Madrid. Over the last decade, Los Blancos have only topped the Copa del Rey twice. Since 2014, the Spanish giants have hoisted the Champions League title triple the amount of times they have won Spain's oldest soccer competition.

Sunday’s Copa del Rey featured five games on the schedule with two La Liga sides eliminated by Segunda Division and third tier teams.As the last 16 begins to take shape in the coming days Las

Real Madrid will make their Copa del Rey debut on Monday, facing Deportiva Minera, a team from Murcia competing in the Second RFEF Division, equivalent to the old Third Division. The match will take place at Cartagena’s Cartagonova Stadium, on natural grass and in a venue with decent capacity—factors that, on paper, should favour Los Blancos.

Real Madrid can book a spot in the last 16 of the Copa del Rey when they face Deportiva Minera at Estadio Municipal Angel Celdran on Monday. The fourth-tier hosts have not played a game since Dec. 21 while Carlo Ancelotti's visitors saw off Valencia 2-1 in La Liga on Friday.

Real Madrid will take on Deportiva Minera, with Carlo Ancelotti set to make plenty of changes to the starting XI.

Barcelona booked their place in the Copa del Rey's last-16 with a 4-0 rout over Barbastro. Eric García broke the deadlock for Hansi Flick's side with a powerful header after Ronald Araújo headed Frenkie de Jong's ball across the face of goal.

Barcelona has endured another setback while trying to get Dani Olmo registered and cruised past fourth-division club Barbastro 4-0 in the Copa del Rey.
