The draw for the quarterfinals of the Copa de la Reina Iberdrola 2025-2026 produced a stellar duel between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, a single-match tie that will be played in the first week of February (3-4-5).
The Blaugrana team and the Madrid team, the first two classified teams in the F Moeve League, will meet again in the ‘ko’ tournament as they did last season, then in the semifinals, in a two-legged match and with a clear victory for the current champion by an aggregate of 8-1 after overwhelming the Alfredo di Stéfano (0-5) and winning 3-1 at the Johan Cruyff. This year, they won (4-0) in the first round of the league, although their rival was quite competitive.
Now, the team led by Pau Quesada will try to surprise, taking advantage of the fact that the clash is a single match and that they will play in front of their fans to defeat a Barça that they could also encounter weeks before if both win their respective semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup against Atlético de Madrid and Athletic Club.
Precisely, these two teams will also star in a nice tie at the Alcalá de Henares Sports Center between two historic women’s football teams, with the Biscayan finding a better level after a bad start to the season and trying to overthrow the current runner-up.
Another cup champion like Real Sociedad will host FC Badalona Women as a favorite, while another balanced clash will be the one that will take place at the Fernando Torres Stadium in Fuenlabrada against Madrid CFF and Costa Adeje Tenerife, currently seventh and fifth classified in the F Moeve League and separated by one point.
