The cup competition in Spain returns to action with some interesting matchups featuring the top clubs in La Liga. Read all about it with our guide.

The battle to win the 2023-24 Copa del Rey continues this weekend, with some interesting fixtures taking place and some matches that could give fans the chance to watch the so called "giant-killings".

Curiously enough, all teams from the third and fourth tiers of the Spanish football system have been paired up with some of the top heavyweights in La Liga, and those will be precisely the matches to keep an eye on. For starters, the game between Lugo and Atlético will be the one to kick things off on Saturday, with the Primera Federación ready to welcome Los Colchoneros.

To keep things going, fans in Spain and in other countries will get to watch another clash between a lower-tier club and the most successful club in La Liga history. The game between Segunda Federación club Arandina and Real Madrid will put an end to all the activity on Saturday, with Los Blancos trying to avoid an embarrassing moment such as the one they lived a few years ago against Alcorcón and Real Unión.

On Sunday, all the attention will go to the Municipal de Deportes Stadium in Barbastro, where the local team will host Barcelona. The Blaugrana side enter this game after a come-from-behind win against Las Palmas, and with the Spanish Super Cup right around the corner, this game could come in handy to keep themselves in gear prior to their midwek encounter against Osasuna. Meanwhile, the team from Aragón will want to continue their historic run in the competition, where they have already beaten Ponferradina and Almería in their previous Copa fixtures.
