Talavera news

Talavera find themselves in a difficult situation in the Primera Federación, where they are second from bottom in Group A.

This is the first time in its history that Talavera has qualified for the round of 32, with its best performance being the third round in the 2017-18 season.

Real Madrid news

Los Merengues are looking to get out of their current slump, and their recent victory against Alavés has been a step in the right direction. Xabi Alonso won after the victory.

"Today there were things you need in matches. We need continuity and consistency, and it helps us learn so that it doesn't get forgotten. I give a lot of credit to the victory, with many injuries and suspensions. There's still a long way to go, it was an important moment, but we have to continue with the things we've done well," he said.

The cup tie could be a good opportunity for Alonso to give his depleted squad a breather and find out if he has viable solutions at his disposal in Castilla, ahead of a second half of the season in which he will have no margin for error, while rumours about the names of his possible replacements continue to appear in the press.
