Real Madrid set up a potential Copa Del Rey quarter-final against FC Barcelona after a 1-0 victory against Málaga earned the Whites a 4-2 aggregate win.

It was a tense night as Malaga only needed a 1-0 victory in order to advance on the away goals rule. In a very tactical first half the best chance fell to Sergio Ramos, whose header right before half-time just missed the target.

Real Madrid progressed to the quarter-finals of the Copa Del Rey after a 1-0 win over Malaga courtesy of a goal by Karim Benzema. More accurately put a dreadful mistake by Malaga goalkeeper Willy Caballero in the 72nd minute proved decisive after Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema fired a timid shot which squirmed beneath Caballero [.

Disaster for Malaga's goalie as Karim Benzema's speculative shot results in the ball squeezing past his arms and legs and trickles into goal. A case of the willies? It was actually the only blemish in an otherwise fine performance by Willy Caballero to keep Real at bay.

The 1-0 victory in the second leg gave Real a winning aggregate of 4-2 advancing them to the Copa Del Rey quarterfinals where they are almost sure to meet Barca, 4-0 winners against Osasuna in their first leg.

Real Madrid failed to maintain their 10 point gap with Barcelona this weekend after they only managed to get a draw against Malaga despite playing at Santiago Bernebau and simply dominating the game especially in the second half.

However, a late free kick goal from Santi Cazorla simply destroyed Los Blancos' effort as they only managed to score a goal on the match through Karim Benzema and couldn't converted more of their chances.

Malaga move themselves back into fourth place after picking up an important 2-1 win over home team ,Espanyol, on Sunday, with goals from Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Martin Dimichelis.

It wasn't an easy ride though for Manuel Pellegrini's side as they were forced to make a comeback after trailing a goal down in the first half from Philippe Coutinho.
