Alcorconazo is the name given by fans and by the Spanish sports press to the first leg of a 2009–10 Copa del Rey two-legged matchup between AD Alcorcón and Real Madrid in the round of 32, a 4–0 win by Alcorcón.[http://www.elpais.com/articulo/deportes/Alcorconazo/elpepudep/20091027elpepudep_14/Tes Alcorconazo], El País.com {{in lang|es}}, October 27, 2009

Origin

The first leg received this name because of the defeat of Real Madrid, one of the largest clubs in Spanish football and in the world, by a modest Alcorcón team which then played in the third-tier Segunda División B.

= Contrast between Real Madrid and Alcorcón =

The two competing sides had significantly differing financial support.

The annual salaries of Alcorcón's matchday squad added up to less than €1 million, compared to the €110 million salary of Real Madrid's squad.

Real Madrid had spent €254 million on new signings the previous summer, out of a €420 million annual budget at the time.

On the day before the first leg of the cup-tie versus Alcorcón, one of Real Madrid's corporate sponsors gave the entire senior squad new cars worth a total of €2 million.

The average annual salary of an Alcorcón player at the time, €36,000, was less than Cristiano Ronaldo made in a day that season.

At the time of the match, Real Madrid's reserve side played in Segunda B alongside Alcorcón – and had lost only once in seven previous meetings between the two.{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2009/oct/28/real-madrid-alcoron-copa-del-rey|title=Manuel Pellegrini is on the ropes after Real Madrid's greatest humiliation|work=guardian.co.uk|first=Sid|last=Lowe|date=28 October 2009|access-date=20 May 2012}}

However, Ronaldo was not included in the squad for the match, along with several other stars who were rested. Adding insult to injury, the two Alcorcón goalscorers (Borja Pérez and Ernesto Gómez) were alumni of Real Madrid's youth academy.

Overall score

Legacy

This defeat was a lead sports story throughout Europe, being the title page in British,[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/8329227.stm Minnows knock Madrid out of cup] BBC Sport, November 11, 2009 French[http://www.francefootball.fr/FF/breves2009/20091028_001956_alcorcon-chauffe-a-blanc.html Alcorcon donne la leçon au Real] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100310224533/http://www.francefootball.fr/FF/breves2009/20091028_001956_alcorcon-chauffe-a-blanc.html|date=2010-03-10}} France Football {{in lang|fr}}, October 28, 2009 and Italian publications.[http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Estero/27-10-2009/real-tonfo-clamoroso--601770098503.shtml Real una débacle storica perde 4-0 con squadra di C] Gazzetta.it {{in lang|it}}, October 27, 2009

It also marked a rise to relative prominence for the suburban Madrid club; in what may or may not have been a coincidence, Alcorcón began a major stadium renovation project the following month.

The half-time substitution of Guti when the score was 3–0 and when he was booked before was another topic in the Spanish press because of words exchanged between the player and his coach, Manuel Pellegrini.[http://www.marca.com/2009/10/28/futbol/equipos/real_madrid/1256729859.html Pellegrini y Guti discutieron en el descanso y el jugador mandó al técnico a tomar por el c***] MARCA.com {{in lang|es}}, October 28, 2009

It generated superstition and the number of the 4–0 day, 27 October 2009, (27,109) was one of the best-selling lottery tickets on Christmas 2009.[http://www.leonoticias.com/frontend/leonoticias/Tiene-El-27109-vn40200-vst216 ¿Tiene el 27109?], Leonoticias.com {{in lang|es}}, November 30, 2009

Aftermath

While Real Madrid won the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu, Alcorcón advanced victorious 4-1 on aggregate to the next round.
