Let's be honest, the Mickey Mouse competition of Spanish football (Copa Del Ray) doesn't really interest us British fans. But last night produced one of the biggest shocks of the season.
When the likes of Athletico Madrid and Sevilla were comfortabaly winning their games, the muliti-millionaire wasters of Real Madrid were getting a pasting by the minnows who apply their trade in the Segunda Division B-Group 2.
Real Union knocked out Madrid in last season's competition and the thought of that happening again was...well i didn't think it would happen. But.........
One...two...three...four. With four swift hacks at the Real Madrid goal (and hopeless Madrid defending) the third division side found themselves in dreamland.
They got the win, they scored four goals and they didn't concede an away goal. What more could they have hoped for? Maybe one or two more goals but that would be pushing it.
Perhaps the most astononishing anouncement came five minutes from time and the announcement of Man of The Match. To rub salt into the wound, Jerzy Dudek was selected. I'm sure he was none too pleased with that.
So, for Real Madrid, absolute humiliation. For us, proof that money means nothing and for Alcorcon, the game of their lives. Congratulations
