Football: Top Flight Teams Away To Minnows In First Round Of Spain's Copa Del Rey
Every La Liga: All in all 16 teams from Spain's top flight make their debut in this season's Copa del Rey over the next three days.
Every La Liga side except Cup-holders Real Madrid, runners-up Osasuna, FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid -- all of whom have qualified for the Spanish Super Cup -- begin the long march to the final in the same system that has been used for the past few years.
That means the teams from the top flight play away at teams from the lowest leagues, and in the first round, that means sides from the fifth and sixth tier of the Spanish game, often on an artificial surface.
