Real Red-Faced After Cup Draw

[Folami David]

Real Madrid were held to an embarrassing 0-0 draw at third-tier Olimpic de Xativa in Saturday's King's Cup last 32, first leg as they came down to earth with a bump after a series of big wins.
.
The world's richest club by income were missing the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Xabi Alonso but a team packed with internationals still failed to see off lowly opponents at their tiny stadium near Valencia.
.
The Olimpic players, who compete in a regional division one level below Real's B team, worked tirelessly on the artificial pitch and their illustrious visitors barely managed a shot on target.
.
Real coach Carlo Ancelotti, whose side had scored 18 goals in their last four outings, spent most of the match furiously chewing gum and shaking his head on the sidelines.
.
Even the introduction of France striker Karim Benzema and Croatia midfielder Luka Modric in the second half failed to provide the spark to break down a dogged home defence.

The draw wasn't a good result for Madrid at all. Dissappointing one
