The Real Madrid already knows the first rival that will have to begin the defence of his title in the Glass of Rey. The white team, that won in the big final of the past season to the Osasuna, will have to visit to the Arandina Club of Football of the Second RFEF (Fourth Division) the next 6 or 7 January to look for his pass to the eighth of final of the competition of His Majesty.
In the middle of a crisis of injuries, and with the increasingly limited staff, Carlo Ancelotti already knows the team to the that will confront in the second party of the 2024 for the club merengue. It will be an Arandina that already knows what is to leave on the way to a team of LaLiga in this edition of the competition after surpassing in the previous round to the Cádiz by 2-1.
A headquarters that could complicate enormously to the Madrid
The Madrid will have to visit the stadium The Montecill in Aranda of Duero, probably with an inferior temperature to the 10 degrees centígrados, by what expects a tremendously complicated party for the ones of Carletto, further of the obvious differences of quality between both staff. However, the Arandina still will have to expect confirmation by part of the RFEF because of the capacity of his stadium, situated right now in five thousand people.
A duel that will not be so simple for the Madrid
When treating of an eliminatory to only party, with extention and penaltis to be necessary, the local team will have the possibility to try keep the zero in his goal all the time that was possible to go on doing history in the Glass of Rey. By his part, the Madrid surely will go out with a very alternative team when having to confront three or four days afterwards (10 January) to the Athletic of Madrid by the semifinals of the Supercopa of Spain in Saudi Arabia.
