Watch Real Madrid vs Olimpica de Xativa live as Los Blancos look to join Barcelona into the next stage of the Copa del Rey.

Preview: Real Madrid ready to avoid a Copa del Rey nightmare

Cristiano Ronaldo is suspended. Gareth Bale is injured. Without their two most expensive players, can unstable Real Madrid avoid a traumatic night at the Santiago Bernabeu? Los Blancos managed nothing more than a goalless draw away to Olimpica de Xativa. Olimpic defender Vicente Mendoza believes that impossible is nothing and that they can dump last season’s finalists out of the competition.

“We know that it is a tough call, but it was the same holding out at our stadium and we did that. 0-0 was a great result and hopefully we can manage another draw now,” Mendoza told Spanish media MARCA.

“We'll definitely go through if we can hold out to penalties,” he concluded.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid forwards went through an intense shooting practice but penalties were not part of the training. According to Carlo Ancelotti, failure in penalty shoot-outs “is not a technical problem, it’s emotional.” That said, fans can expect the Spanish giants to go all out for goals in normal time.

In the 2009/10 season (Ronaldo’s first at the club), Real Madrid suffered a humiliating defeat at this stage against minnows Alcorcon. Italian boss Ancelotti is determined to avoid a repeat of such misfortune.

“I know exactly what 'Alcorconazo' means. We need to stay alive in the cup because it is an important competition,” he told the press.

“We'll be playing against a very good team. They defend well. They'll come with the same game plan they had in the first leg and they'll be very motivated.”
