Málaga CF’s ‘Juvenil’ rivals announced for Copa de Campeones and Copa del Rey

The RFEF has announced the group draws for the knockout stages of the Copa de Campeones and Copa del Rey, in which the ‘Juvenil’ boys from Málaga CF’s La Academia are taking part.

In the Copa de Campeones held in Vera (Almería) from 5th to 10th May, Ruano’s boys are in group B along with Sevilla FC, Las Palmas and Real Sociedad, following the previous quarter-final match against the ‘Sevillanos’.  In the Copa del Rey, the ‘Juvenil’ team will face Getafe CF in the knockout round; the first leg taking place in Málaga on 18th May and the return leg on 25th May.
 
The Blue and Whites’ ‘Juvenil’ coach, Manel Ruano, analyses both competitions: “With regards to the Copa de Campeones, it’s quite frustrating to come up against a rival we’ve already defeated this season, as both teams know each other well.  In the Copa del Rey draw, Getafe are a good team within a tough group.  It’s a shame the return leg is an away match, but we’ll try and get there having already done our homework.”
