The draw for the last 16 of the Copa del Rey has been made, and several captivating ties have been thrown up.
The most intriguing tie of the round sees Barcelona travel to face Ceuta, who are the lowest ranked side left in the competition. The Primera Federacion club defeated Elche on Tuesday, and will be hoping to add another La Liga opponent to their list of scalps.
Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid also got an away draw, but one that is likely to be more difficult than Barca’s. Los Blancos will face Villarreal, who they take on in league action this afternoon. Quique Setien’s men will be hoping to progress against a side that they haven’t lost at home to in six years.
