below is not correct. The 1st leg was in Alcorcon, so Real Madrid did not "see out the 1-0 lead" from the 1st leg. The match in Bernabeu was the 2nd leg.
"One defeat from eight games left Real Madrid second in LaLiga, but a 3-2 defeat to Milan in the Champions League and the strength of Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona meant that the Chilean wanted to put out a strong side to face Alcorcón in the Copa del Rey to see out the 1-0 lead from the first leg at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu.
