MADRID, Jan 16 (Reuters) - League
leaders Valencia will play second-placed Real Madrid in the outstanding King's
Cup quarter-final tie after the draw was made on Friday.
Valencia will start as marginal
favourites for the two-legged tie after claiming a 2-0 home win over Real in
their last meeting in the league in September.
Real will also remember with
embarrassment the 6-0 defeat they suffered when the teams last met in the Cup in
the opening leg of their semi-final in 1999. Valencia went on to win the tie 7-2
on aggregate.
Barcelona, who survived a scare
against Levante in midweek, will take on Real Zaragoza, Sevilla play Atletico
Madrid, and Alaves, the only second division side left in the competition, face
Celta Vigo.
The ties will be played in the
weeks commencing January 19 and 26.
