Los Blancos get to the second leg with a handsome lead. Will the Catalan minnows shock them as they did against Atlético?

How did Girona and Real Madrid get to this stage of the Copa del Rey?

Girona got to the quarter finals by winning only one of their four previous games. The red and white side defeated Alavés in the Round of 32 with a 4-3 aggregate. Then, the Catalan side went on to shock Atlético Madrid with a 4-4 aggregate in the next stage, where away goals handed them a spot in the quarter finals.

Real Madrid has scored quite a few goals en route to this match. Los Blancos eliminated Melilla with a 10-1 aggregate in the Round of 32. Then, Solari's men followed that win with a 3-1 aggregate against Leganés. This is Real Madrid's best Copa del Rey performance in four years.

What do Girona and Real Madrid need to make it to the next round?

Girona need to win this game by a two-goal margin without conceding to make it to the semi-finals. If Real Madrid scores three goals, Girona will have to score six times to earn a spot among the top four teams.

Real Madrid can afford losing by a one-goal margin and they would still make it to the next round. Added to that, any draw will give Real Madrid a spot in the semis. If Real Madrid can score three goals, the away goals rule will also work on their favor.

The only score that would lead to extra time would be 4-2.
