Last season, Real Madrid emerged as the champions of the tournament for the 20th time. To defend their title, they will have to face one of their biggest rivals to get to the quarter finals.
On the other hand, Barcelona have a favourable draw after facing a fourth division side. However, after struggling against Barbastro, questions will be asked about whether we could see a shocking result in this round.
Girona could also emerge as a surprise contender after their run in LaLiga, but they have been drawn against Rayo Vallecano.
