Top-tier football will return to the Martínez Valero next week. The Copa del Rey draw, held on Wednesday morning, has paired Elche with Atlético Madrid in the round of 16 of the knockout competition. Both teams are in form as they head into one of the two matches that will see a top-flight team face a second division side.

From this round of 16, VAR will be introduced in the knockout competition. Until now, referees did not have access to video assistance.

Additionally, this edition of the Copa del Rey has witnessed curious moments, such as Israel García, a Barbastro player, proposing to his girlfriend after their match against Barcelona (0-4). Despite the loss, everything went perfectly. "I'm a bit tired of seeing it on social media. It's something I don't like, but the moment remains in my memory," the footballer stated after the proposal.
