Santa Eulària is preparing to make history. The municipal field of the Villa del Río will receive the legendary Malaga CF this Sunday (12pm), undoubtedly the greatest club after the visit to the Municipal Real Valladolid in January 2021 (with a result of 1-4).
Pepe Mel’s team through to the Copa del Rey
Málaga, after several years adrift, have hit rock bottom this season and find themselves in last place in LaLiga SmartBank. Pepe Mel’s side, focused on closing the six-point gap to safety in La Liga (where they are in competition with UD Ibiza), are through to the Copa del Rey, which represents an unparalleled opportunity for Peña Deportiva to make a splash.
The modest Ibizan team consideres the KO tournament an excellent showcase to continue making a name for itself in national football and, in this knockout round, a unique opportunity to achieve the feat against a rival that is going through its lowest point in the Second Division.
The coach Manolo González has his eye set on passing the first round, given the huge crisis suffered by his rival, to place the Santa Eulària club in the draw for a second round in which they would face a First Division team.
