We are underway in Salamanca.
We are ready to go at Las Pistas. Teams on the field and exchange handshakes.
Vicente del Bosque, Spain's World Cup-winning manager, is a paying member of the club and also Dani Rovira, the famous Spanish actor and comedian.
Salamanca was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988. The University of Salamanca, which was founded in 1218, is one of the oldest universities in Spain and the third oldest western university.
It's currently 4 degress in Salamanca and we are just 20 minutes from kick-off. That temperature will surely drop but pretty chilly.
Vinicius seized his chance against Sevilla. He had a couple of very dangerous runs as Rodrygo starts to cool off after an incredible start.
Casemiro and Valverde start tonight too. Valverde missed the game against Sevilla because of suspension but is back in tonight. Meanwhile. Vinicius cameo against Sevilla was enough to earn him a start.
Unionistas have been offered sponsorship deals for tonight's game from bookmaker's and they have declined those offers as they always have. Could have made a lot of money but they chose the values they have instead. Noble.
Unionistas XI: Brais, Gallego, Zubiri, Ayoze, Piojo, Navas, Andrés, De la Nava, Garrido, José Angel, Góngora.
Zidane was forced to field questions about Bale and James again ahead of the game and starts them both tonight. Big chance for James, in particular, but it should keep things quiet for another couple of games anyway.
Odriozola recently joined Bayern Munich and that means Carvajal has no replacement at right-back. He has to play in pretty much every game now and that probably won't bode well for his hamstrings.
Zidane calls Bale and Benzema back into the team after missing the Sevilla game.
Real Madrid XI: Areola, Carvajal, Militao, Nacho, Marcelo, Casemiro, Valverde, James, Bale, Benzema, Vinicius.
Salamanca, by the way, is beautiful. You should go if you've never been. It had been snowing quite heavily there in the days leading up to the game though.
They used to be Salamanca but they went under in 2013. Their owner then preferred that they filed for bankruptcy rather than try to save the club. But from the ashes, Unionistas were born. They have been promoted twice now and are in Segunda B. They are a member-driven club and each member pays €190 a year to get the €400,000 necessary to run the club.
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Unionistas of Salamanca versus Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey! Kick-off coming your way at 21:00 but we'll have team news and build-up before then.
