Real Madrid faced a surprising challenge as they were held to a 0-0 draw against Olimpic Xativa, a third-division team, in the round of 16 first leg of the Copa del Rey. Despite fielding a “reserve” team, including players like Casemiro, Jesé, and Morata, Real Madrid couldn’t secure a victory. Karim Benzema, who came on as a substitute, was unable to break the deadlock. The draw means Real Madrid will need to win the return match on December 18 to advance in the competition.
