The Copa del Rey quarter-final draw has been made. Real Madrid face Real Sociedad at the Bernabeu, Barca travel to San Mames to face Athletic Bilbao while second tier side Mirandes host Villarreal. Granada play Valencia in the other tie. Will Mirandes cause another upset?

Real Madrid and Barca have been kept apart in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey and will both face Basque sides. Real Madrid play Real Sociedad while Barca have to play Athletic Bilbao. 'Los Blancos' will be the happier though as they have a home tie.

Granada and Valencia face off at Los Carmenes while giantkillers Mirandes have been given a kind draw against Villarreal. The team from Miranda de Ebro have already knocked out Coruxo, UCAM Murcia, Celta Vigo and the big scalp of Sevilla to reach this stage.

Even though Villarreal were drawn first, Mirandes host the match as the team from the lower division always hosts. The four winners will progress to the two-legged semi-finals.

The Copa del Rey quarter final draw in full:

Real Madrid v Real Sociedad

Athletic Bilbao v Barcelona

Granada v Valencia

Mirandes v Villarreal

The ties will be played on 4th, 5th or 6th February.
