Copa del Rey Draw 2018 Schedule: Quarter-Final Fixtures and Dates Released

Copa del Rey title-holders Barcelona will battle Espanyol in a Catalan derby in the quarter-finals of this season's tournament as Friday's draw revealed the last-eight fixtures.

Real Madrid defeated Numancia to reach the quarters and will face Leganes in the next stage of the competition, while rivals Atletico Madrid are set to take on Sevilla in a two-legged duel between two top-flight titans.

Leganes already took out one of La Liga's heavy hitters by edging Villarreal 2-2 in the round of 16, triumphing on away goals, but they have a far more daunting task in attempting to beat Los Merengues.
