'Open wound' - Real Madrid look for revenge against Alcoyano in Spanish Cup
Real Madrid finalized their preparations on Tuesday as they seek revenge on Alcoyano in the Copa del Rey Round of 32.
Ancelotti said: "I haven't seen that match but I know what has happened because the players have told me. It still is an open wound this loss against Alcoyano, in a very difficult moment of the season. The players have told me and they know better than me what happened and what doesn't need to happen tomorrow."
Third-tier Alcoyano, located in Alcoy roughly 50km north of Alicante, stunned the Spanish giants at the same stage last season, beating the then La Liga champions 2-1.
Carlo Ancelotti confirmed his side will travel to the Estadio El Collao, which holds 4,850 spectators, without Vinicius Jr, Ferland Mendy, Thibaut Courtois, Luka Modric, and Karim Benzema.
