After that, the Copa del Rey draw paired Albacete in the quarterfinals with the other Spanish giant: Barcelona (9:00 p.m., La1), again at the Carlos Belmonte. “It is an exciting game and we are going to leave everything to try to pass. It is very difficult because it is a great team, but as we already showed to Madrid, we put enthusiasm and a lot of heart into it and we are going to try,” commented Jefté Betancor, the forward who eliminated Real with his goal in the 93rd minute, after knowing his next rival. Since the victory against the whites, the team led by Alberto González, who are currently twelfth in the Second Division, have not lost any of the matches they have played: first they won by the minimum against Cádiz and Valladolid, and last Saturday they beat Zaragoza 2-0. On those three occasions he managed to keep a clean sheet.
