Madrid Gets Malaga, Barcelona Plays Osasuna in Cup
Big-spending Malaga was drawn against defending champion Real Madrid for the Copa del Rey's round of 16, while Osasuna gets the unenviable task of facing 25-time champion Barcelona.
Barcelona routed third-tier side Hospitalet 10-0 over two legs to advance, while Madrid easily overcame another minnow in Ponferradina.
Third-tier team Mirandes, which eliminated Villarreal, plays Racing Santander while Albacete, which knocked Atletico Madrid out, plays 23-time champion Athletic Bilbao.
In other matchups, it's: Valencia vs. Sevilla; Cordoba vs. Espanyol; Alcorcon vs. Levante; and Real Sociedad vs. Mallorca.
The first-leg matches are scheduled for the first week of January.
