In fact, the one suffered before Alcoyano It is the fifth in 20 years, a figure that seems outrageous if one takes into account the difference in everything between the white club and the rest. Explained in another way, it would be like saying that Madrid 21st century throws him out Copa del Rey a team of that category once every four years.
It is true that one occasion, before him CadizIt was not on the grass, but due to improper alignment, but it also counts. The first of this particular list was in the 2000-2001 season and the protagonist was the Toledo trained by Jose Aurelio Gay in the previous stage in which a single match was played. With Vicente del Bosque on the bench, the whites fell in the first tie 2-1 with goals from Israel and Cidoncha for locals and Savio for visitors.

A match in which Raul achieved a useless hat-trick, since one minute from the end Eneko Romo marked the goal of the Irundarra classification.
The most humiliating KO came in the following season, 2009-10, against the Alcorcón, also to two parties. It was what has remained for history as ‘The Alcorconazo’. The team trained by Juan Antonio Anquela he won 4-0 over the one led by Manuel Pellegrini in the first leg of the sixteenth with two goals from Borja, one of Ernesto and another from Arbeloa at own door. On the return, the Madrid he was only able to win 1-0.
The elimination of the 2015-2016 campaign was very different from the rest. He Madrid won in field of Cadiz (then in Second B) by 1-3, but Rafa Benitez lined up Denis Cheryshev, who had pending a penalty game of his stage in the Villarreal. Despite the fact that the coach ended up realizing and replaced him, it was too late. Competition the white team forfeited the tie.
