and there it is: Real Madrid disqualified from Copa del Rey over ineligible player - reports
it's all over the spanish-language media, but the guardian has it now, too:
Real Madrid have been disqualified from the Copa del Rey over fielding an ineligible player during the victory over Cádiz on Wednesday, according to reports in Spain.
Denis Cheryshev, who scored the opening goal in the 3-1 win, should have been suspended after he received three yellow cards in the competition for Villarreal last season.
Cheryshev was withdrawn from the action moments after half-time, when Real had realised their error, with the head coach, Rafael Benítez, saying they wanted to “show good faith”.
However, a report on Spanish radio station Cadena COPE has stated that Cádiz’s complaint has been upheld.

...that's a fucking ominous way to end an article, guardian sport.
