The Spanish Cup, or Copa del Rey as it is commonly known in Spain, is underway and what a surprising start it had! Real Madrid, heavy favorites to not only the Spanish Cup and League but for other titles, started the road to a championship by losing to the way less popular and rated Alcorcon, a team from the "segunda division B" (which would be like the AA in the MLB) by a humiliating score of 4-0. Although the Madrid team have their superstar Cristiano Ronaldo being injured as a possible excuse, there is no real excuse to this defeat. However, like I have said before one loss does not mean the whole season for top teams like Real Madrid, and we will have to wait for the home-leg to see if they come back and eventually beat Alcorcon by more than 4-0, which is what they have to do to go on to the next round of the cup.
