Marcelino Garcia Toral: The second round of the Spanish Copa del Rey knockout competition gets underway on Tuesday, with sides from La Liga looking to progress into the round of 32 against lower league opposition.

The format of the competition means the teams from the top flight are drawn to play away to rivals from lower divisions, meaning some 'giant-killing' could be on the cards.

Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, FC Barcelona and Osasuna, who all play in the Supercup in January, are exempt from this round, while Granada were kicked out of the competition after fielding an ineligible player in the first round, reports Xinhua.
