Malaga coach Manuel Pellegrini insists his side will not look to shut up shop against in-form Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey tomorrow night despite suffering a 7-0 mauling on their last trip to the Bernabeu.

Cristiano Ronaldo struck a hat-trick as Madrid thrashed Malaga in La Liga last March and, with 18 wins in their last 19 games this term, Jose Mourinho’s cup holders are firm favourites heading into tomorrow’s last-16 first leg. Nevertheless, ex-Real coach Pellegrini wants his team to take the game to his former employers as they seek to ruin the chance of a possible quarter-final showdown between Mourinho’s men and Barcelona.

“Independent of the fact Madrid are the opponents, we’re going to look for the best result possible. We’re going to try and qualify with our play, we’re not going to go out looking to draw 0-0,” he said in Marca. “If we don’t manage to get through it needs to be because Real Madrid have earned it.”

main, dat game wasn't an unexpected win for madrid at all cos i know what they are capable of doing. i was discussing with one of my friends as at 65minutes when the game was still 0:2 ifo malaga that madrid must win the game. That madrid can score more than 3goals in 10minutes cos i've seen them perform such magic before but my friend doubted me until he saw with his own eyes. well malaga actually tried by getting 2goals @away even when i thought they couldn't get anything . dat was a fair play indeed.
