Real Madrid chief Emilio Butragueno expects a "special" clash with Atletico Madrid in their Copa del Rey clash.

The Madrid rivals have been drawn in the round of 16.

Butragueno said: "An extraordinary game awaits us. It is true that we will play away and the qualifying round will be decided in just one game.

"We have hope that the team can play a great game and be in the quarterfinal draw.

"The Copa is a particular competition because, with the new format, there is no second leg. That, without a doubt, makes it exciting. We know the opponent we have in front of us and the difficulty we are going to have to face, but we are confident that our players will be able to have a great game."
