The Valencia return to Las Gaunas ten years later. This has been decided by the draw for the matches of the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey to be played next week. The set of Celades, which opens defending the title of champion, is measured to Logroz, a rival of Second B, as they have FC Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico.
Ten years ago the Valencianists do not step on the Rioja stadium. The last time was in the 2010/11 campaign, with Unai Emery on the bench. That round of 16 was played in a double game, and Valencia resolved it in the first leg with a 0-3, with two goals from Aduriz and one from Vicente Rodrguez. In Mestalla the result was also wide: 4-1. The Achievements were advanced with a goal from Osado at three minutes, but the reaction came with two goals from Isco, another from Viente and the fourth from Feghouli.
If Valencia will rival a team that should not put problems to be in eighths, the I raised It has been paired with one of the most difficult rivals that the hype could bring: Seville. And, in addition, will have the field factor against, since the match will be played in Snchez Pizjuan.
More than 90 years ago they were not in Granotas and Sevilla. As EFE recalls, Levante faced Sevilla in the Spanish Cup in February and March 1928 in a league with other teams and won both games. The Valencian team beat Sevilla 0-1 and also won in the match held in Valencia in March 1928 2-0, although they did not advance to the next phase.
With the Athletic I will see them on Elche, recalling the 1969 Cup final played at the Bernabu, in which the title went to the Bilbao for 0-1. Then they crossed again in the round of 16 in the 1976/77 season, also with triumph of the Basques.
There is the curious circumstance that Athletic return to Martnez Valero for the second time in this competition in recent months. And is that last December 17th he played all the tie against the San Juan Intercity before the refusal of the Spanish Federation that the modest Alicante team could play in their field.
To the Villarreal the Girona, who lives in the middle part of the table in Second after his descent.
