Three out of four parties have decided, and by a process of elimination that leaves Real Betis and Espanyol. All we need to know, is it Betis against Espanyol or Espanyol against Betis … and that is the case. is the last.

So, it's a repeat of the finals of 2016 and 2018, and Sevilla will not want to be recalled quickly, especially the centerpiece of last year at Wanda Metropolitano, who saw Barcelona beat the Andalusians 5-0.

Take out the third tie: and it's Seville … against Barcelona!

Let's move on to the first leg of the second quarterfinal, which will be … Getafe against Valencia! This is a rehearsal of the 2008 final, during which Los Che defeated the Madrid men 3-1, in the most recent of their seven wins in Copa del Rey.

Real Madrid is the first team to come out of the hat! And they will face … Girona! The Catalans qualify for the quarter-finals of the Copa for the first time in their history and are probably those of the last sixteen games.

So unless the appeal expected by the administrative court for the sport of Levante is successful, Barcelona remains in the draw for the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, which should start in every minute. A reminder that they are joined in the hat by Espanyol, Getafe, Girona, Real Betis, Real Madrid, Sevilla and Valencia.

Case closed? Uh no. The CSA reporter, Conrado Valle, said that Levante will now bring his case before the Spanish Sport Administrative Court, except in case of an unexpected U-turn.

As mentioned earlier, the RFEF rules stipulate that clubs have 24 hours after a midweek game to file a complaint against a team suspected of presenting an ineligible player – Levante therefore had only late January 11 to bring the case before the Federation and missed the deadline of one week.

STAY OF BARCELONA AT COPA: The RFEF has just issued a statement revealing that the Levante case against Barcelona had been rejected by the Discipline Committee of the bodyand that the result of the last meeting between the two teams has been confirmed.

We have a decision!

However, the regulations of the RFEF seem to stipulate that Levante had 24 hours maximum after the first leg to file his complaint. – a deadline expired on 11 January. At the same time, Barça argues that, according to a recent clarification of the RFEF on the wording of its rules on suspensions of players, the ban on Chumi – lifted while he was playing for Barça B at Segunda B – was applicable to LaLiga but not to Copa del Rey.

RFEF is because of making a decision on the issue right now …

The 3-0 win in Barça's second leg last night gave them a 4-2 overall victory over Levante, but Los Granotas today filed a complaint with the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) regarding the alleged ineligibility of Chumi. The club's president, Quico Catalán, told reporters: "We believe that there is a case law strong enough to support the club's decision to bring the case before the RFEF".

The Catalans enter the match today under a kind of cloud, following claims that defender Juan Brandáriz "Chumi" has played in the first leg of the last 16 games against Levante, although he is suspended.

Barça, whose 30 wins in Copa del Rey make them the most decorated club in the competition, won the trophy in each of the four seasonsand now want to become the first team to win this title five years in a row. BUT…

The last 16 eliminations of Sporting Gijón by Valencia means that we have a team composed solely of Primera División and who are in the quarterfinals: Barcelona, ​​Espanyol, Getafe, Girona, Real Betis, Real Madrid, Sevilla and Los Che.
