MADRID, Dec 1: Atletico Madrid were drawn on Monday to meet Barcelona in the last 16 of the King’s Cup.

Primera Liga leaders Barcelona, who have won the Cup a record 24 times, will play the first leg at the Calderon next month.

The only remaining non-Primera Liga clubs, Real Union and Poli Ejido both of the Segunda B (third tier), will have home advantage for their first legs against Real Betis and Espanyol respectively.

Poli Ejido knocked out Villarreal 6-1 on aggregate in the last round, and Real Union beat Real Madrid on the away goals rule after drawing 6-6 on aggregate.

Holders Valencia visit Racing Santander, and the 2007 winners Sevilla are at home first to Deportivo Coruna. A northern derby between Osasuna and 23-times winners Athletic Bilbao, and the clashes between Real Mallorca and Almeria, and Sporting Gijon and Real Valladolid completed the draw. The first legs are scheduled for Jan. 7, with the return legs on Jan. 14.—Reuters
