The green and whites have hit the jackpot! Spanish fourth-tier club CP Cacereno got the most glamourous draw possible in the national cup – a home tie against Real Madrid. The green and whites from the region of Extremadura have doubled the capacity of their Principe Felipe stadium from 7,000 to 14,000 by adding temporary stands. After all, Real Madrid are not coming every day.According to the company selling advertising space on their LED screens inside the ground, the income today will be the same as they usually earn for the entire season.##NAJAVA_MECA_6923735##Needless to say, the stand will be packed tonight. Cacereno president Carlos Ordonez noted that his phone is glitching because he’s receiving an insane number of WhatsApp messages. Most of them are about tickets. If they had a 50,000-capacity stadium – they would sell it out easily.”The whole town is floating on a cloud because of the Real Madrid visit. Everyone is excited and a bit nervous because not everyone can get tickets. We have made the news in many countries. Suddenly, everyone has the name of Cacereno on their lips. We joke that we feel like a top-tier club these days!”Quien no anima al Cacereño, ¿a qué carajos vino? pic.twitter.com/eVlr2zZiMS— Álvaro. (@Cofritan) December 30, 2022 The Cacereno president’s role isn’t just the one who counts the money after the game and tells employees what to do. He also takes care of the pitch.”I’m in the lawn maintenance team. I’m the one who normally mows the grass before games. I like ensuring the pitch is always in the best possible condition. To see a good game and for the fans to enjoy.”Cacereno fans will probably be in disbelief when they see the likes of Eden Hazard run out on their pitch. At least the president will make sure the surface is impeccable.COPA DEL REYThird roundTuesday21.00: (10.0) La Nucia (5.00) Valencia (1.33)21.00: (6.25) Cartagena (4.00) Villareal (1.55)21.00: (2.85) Espanyol (2.90) Celta (3.00)23.00: (4.20) Ceuta (3.45) Elche (1.90)23.00: (3.20) Gijon (3.10) Rayo Vallecano (2.40)23.00: (2.45) Levante (3.10) Getafe (3.10)23.00: (19.0) Cacereno (8.50) Real Madrid (1.13)Wednesday21.00: (8.50) Linares (4.50) Sevilla (1.40)21.00: (8.00) Ud Logrones (4.50) Sociedad (1.42)21.00: (6.25) Pontevedra (3.90) Mallorca (1.58)22.00: (7.25) Oviedo (4.20) Atl.Madrid (1.48)23.00: (18.0) Intercity (7.75) Barcelona (1.15)23.00: (3.00) Alaves (3.20) Valladolid (2.45)Thursday18.00: (4.90) Gimnastic (3.60) Osasuna (1.75)18.00: (15.0) Ibiza IP (7.25) Betis (1.18)23.00: (9.00) Eldense (5.00) Ath.Bilbao (1.35)***odds are subject to change
