Copa del Rey: Real Madrid to play Leganes, Barcelona faces Valencia in quarterfinals

Real Madrid will take on lowly local rival Leganes while Barcelona is set to travel to Valencia in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals, following the draw on Monday.

Atletico Madrid will host Getafe in another Spanish capital derby while Real Sociedad will take on fellow Basque side Osasuna. The matches will be played between February 4-6.

The draw left open the possibility of a Clasico between old rivals Real and Barca in the cup final, something that has not happened for over a decade.

Real and Barca have met in the Copa del Rey final on 18 occasions with Real leading the rivalry with 11 wins over seven from the Catalans, including their last encounter, a 2-1 triumph in the 2014 final at Valencia.

However, Barcelona has thrashed Real both times the two have met the current season, delivering a 4-0 win at Santiago Bernabeu in La Liga in October and a 5-2 victory in the Spanish Super Cup final in Saudi Arabia last week.

Real is top of the La Liga standings with 46 points, two ahead of Atletico Madrid in second, with third-placed Barcelona trailing by seven points.
