Real Madrid crashed out of the Copa del Rey after losing 4-1 on aggregate to third-tier club Alcorcon on Tuesday, while defending champion Barcelona easily advanced with a 5-0 victory over Cultural Leonesa.

Rafael Van der Vaart scored in the 81st minute at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, but the Spanish powerhouse didn't come close to overcoming its 4-0 away defeat in the first leg two weeks ago.
