We'll be back again tomorrow on ESPN FC.
Hello and welcome into the latest edition of ESPN FC.
Kay Murray, Alejandro Moreno and Stevie Nicol here in the studio, kicking things off tonight with Real Madrid and their first game under Alvaro Arbeloa.
It was the last 16 of the Copa del Rey.
It was against Albacete and they lost.
They had to twice come from behind as well.
Late stages, 2-2 after Gonzalo Garcia had the second of the replies, but...
Albacete would strike again through the man of the match on the night, Kefte Bentancur, for a dramatic ending and that knocks Real Madrid out of the Copa del Rey at the round of 16.
Albacete closed as an 8-1 underdog to win.
They advanced to the quarter-finals of the competition for the second time and the first since the mid-90s.
It means Real Madrid is eliminated by lower league opposition for the first time since the 2021 season.
As for Albacete, they are 17th in the second division, just one point above the relegation zone.
