Real Madrid suffered a shock Copa del Rey exit to second-tier Albacete and felt guilty afterwards, prompting a determined response. The team beat Levante 2-0, with Kylian Mbappé scoring a penalty and Raúl Asencio heading a second to give Álvaro Arbeloa his first win after replacing Xabi Alonso. Asencio has now scored twice in his last five appearances after failing to score in his first 63. Arbeloa's side registered 26 shots, a high tally for a LaLiga debut, while Vinícius Junior and Jude Bellingham faced jeers amid reported tensions with the previous coach.
