Fresh off a 1-0 victory in El Derbi Madrileno, their first home league victory over Atlético Madrid since 2012, Real Madrid look to take their momentum into the Copa del Rey quarterfinals on Thursday. There, they face the Basque Country side Real Sociedad, who with a win would need just one more victory to reach their first final in the Spanish cup competition since 1988.
While Sociedad sit eighth on the La Liga table, with the Copa del Rey as their only somewhat realistic chance at silverware, Los Blancos are chasing the domestic double, now sitting three points clear of Barcelona atop the La Liga table — and needing just three more Cup victories to take him that silverware as well.
