It's being nicknamed the Oil Cup, but Real Madrid may be about to pick up a trophy even before Barcelona in 2010. In fact, as early as Wednesday night. The Spanish giants are heading off for a bizarre trip to Albania on Wednesday to play in a one-off match for the Taci Oil International Cup.

The match was supposed to have taken place over the winter break, but did not go ahead then. Instead it now comes in midweek at the mid-way point of La Liga after a weekend in which Los Blancos saw Barcelona stretch their lead at the top to five points, following Real's loss to Athletic Bilbao.
