Real take on Villarreal in the last 16 of the Copa del Rey at La Ceramica on Thursday evening for the second time in a matter of days looking to avenge their defeat to the yellow submarine which had 2 very soft penalty. Indeed, the Yellow Submarine are sitting pretty in fifth in the La Liga table - only behind fourth-placed Atletico Madrid on goal difference. Real Madrid make the journey to a team who have failed to keep a single clean sheet since the return of domestic football after the World Cup, but Carlo Ancelotti was left to rue defensive deficiencies as Barcelona clinched the Supercopa de Espana crown in Riyadh. Real will need to up their game to avoid another defeat.

周四晚上，皇马将在陶瓷球场迎战国王杯16强，这是几天内第二次迎战比利亚雷亚尔，他们希望为输给这只黄色潜水艇的比赛复仇。事实上，黄色潜水艇在西甲积分榜上排名第五，仅落后于第四位的马德里竞技。自世界杯后回归国内足球以来，皇马未能保持一场零封，但随着巴塞罗那在利雅得夺得西班牙超级杯冠军，卡洛·安切洛蒂不得不为防守上的不足感到后悔。皇马需要加强比赛，以避免再次失败。
