Real Madrid thrashed Zaragoza 4-0 to reach the Copa del Rey quarter-finals.

The hosts at La Romareda rotated several players because of a Segunda Division showdown with leaders Cadiz on Sunday.

Raphael Varane broke the deadlock before Lucas Vazquez drilled in another just after the half hour mark.

Shinji Kagawa, of Manchester United fame, impressed, and Alphonse Areola denied him well.

Vinicius finished excellently to make it three and Karim Benzema, off the bench, tucked in the fourth.

 

Villarreal, Valencia and Real Sociedad progressed and Barcelona play Leganes on Thursday.
