Real Madrid are out to end Barcelona’s dominance of the Copa del Rey but must find a way past Girona if they are to do that this season.
Barcelona have won this competition for the last four seasons with many believing the cup is Los Blancos’ best hope of silverware this term.
Real will be lifted however after their weekend victory over title-challenging Sevilla; perhaps their best performance to date under Santiago Solari.

The Whites face Girona in the sides’ two-legged Copa del Rey quarter-final tie and again in LaLiga Matchday 24.
Real Madrid and Girona are set to meet three times during the course of the next month, after the sides were paired together in last Friday’s Copa del Rey quarter-final draw.
Just 24 days separate the first leg of the Copa del Rey tie and LaLiga Matchday 24, a period during which the two teams are set to square off on three occasions, which matches the total number of competitive meetings between the two clubs.
The LaLiga Matchday 24 encounter between Real Madrid and Girona will be played over the weekend of the 16 and 17 February and will bring the curtain down on this trio of meetings.
Team news
Real have been hit with injuries as of late with seven players ruled out on Saturday in that win over Sevilla.
Karim Benzema did return however despite carrying a broken finger.
