Real Madrid and Barcelona both writhed with third-tier opponents

Last season, Alcoyano defeated Real Madrid 2-1 in extra time at the same stage of the match. After Dani Vega scored a stunning personal goal for the hosts in the 66th minute to tie the score, Wednesday's game looked set to continue in the same vein.

However, it was only 10 minutes before Real Madrid counterattacked via an accidental deflection from Asensio's, after which Jose Juan's unfortunate own goal ensured that there were no more massive kills.

Despite the win, head coach Carlo Ancelotti would certainly be concerned that his team looked in second place for most of the game, just after the Italian declared that his players had lost the competition. "An extra day on vacation."

Elsewhere, when Dani Alves played for the Catalan club for the first time since leaving in 2016, Barcelona had to beat Linares Deportivo from behind.

Head coach Harvey Xavi chose to rest several star players, even though his team has been drastically reduced by injuries and Covid-19 cases of crown pneumonia, and Blaugrana was trailed just 19 minutes later due to Hugo Diaz offering Linares a shudder lead.

Dembele finally equalized for Barcelona after the game

Because the team was still behind at the end of the break, Frenkie De Jong, Gerard Pique and Ousmane Dembele came into play in the second half and Harvey had to disable the cannon.

Dembele finally equalized for Barcelona after the game, Linares goalkeeper Brimah Razak equalized and a minute’s later young La Masia player Ferran Jutgla scored a goal.

After being first signed by the club in November, Alves, 38, had to wait until January to make his second Barcelona debut.

The Brazilian fullback enjoyed a trophies-filled first spell with the Catalan club between 2008 and 2016, winning six La Liga titles and three UEFA Champions League trophies as Guardiola's side dominated European football.
