It should be a easy game.

Disagree..

Real Madrid are favourite, but it is no easy finals in Spain.

Zaragoza will play hard, and this is the only chance that the club will win something this year.

Real Madrid coach Carlos Queiroz is relishing tonight's Copa del Rey final against Zaragoza.

"All the players are very happy to be here and to play in the final and I also congratulate Real Zaragoza for getting to the final," he said. "This is a fiesta for all football fans in Spain."

The Merengues were held to a 1-1 draw by Zaragoza in the league on Saturday. It was a match that many believed should not have been played following last Thursday's terrorist attacks in Madrid.

"It will be very different as the first game was played under difficult and strange circumstances, whereas now we are prepared for this game and have the dream to win," Queiroz added.

"The final is an all-or-nothing game and we will have to measure the risk in the way that we play. Both the tactics and the physical state of the players will be important."

Real Zaragoza stun Real Madrid to win Spanish Cup.Real Zaragoza stunned Real Madrid with a winning goal in extra time to take the Spanish Cup and dash David Beckham's hopes of a first trophy in Spain.

Argentinian substitute Luciano Galletti fired a low shot that flew past Real keeper Cesar in the second half of extra time after the match had ended 2-2 at the end of the 90 minutes.

Madrid's defeat crushed their hopes of winning the trio of Cup, league and Champions League trophies.

Long-range free kicks from Beckham and Roberto Carlos had been cancelled out by goals from Dani and a David Villa penalty before the dramatic finale in the Montjuic Stadium.

Zaragoza survived the sending-off of Cani late in normal time and when Real lost Guti to a second yellow card early in extra time the underdogs pushed 'los galacticos' in every area of the field before Galletti found the net after 111 minutes of play.


- Week by Real Madrid. I expected more, and the players doesent give 100 % for the club.

Negative: We will not win the trouble this year. 11 years since we won last time.

Positive : In 2002 we also lose the Kings cup against Deportivo, but the club fight back and won Champions Leauge. Now we have to win either CL or La Liga. The money is here :thumbsup:

But, this was week and bad. We are not proud of the team now. :x
