Madrid - Bernd Schuster has reportedly been told by Real Madrid to win in Valladolid on Saturday or start packing his bags.

Madrid sports dailies AS and Marca said on Wednesday that Real have lost confidence in their controversial German coach after a shock cup elimination against third division side Union Irun the previous night.

Real beat Irun 4-3, with three goals from veteran captain Raul Gonzalez, but went out on away goals since they lost 3-2 in the little Basque port two weeks ago.

A 90th minute goal from Irun striker Eneko Romo silenced the Estadio Bernabeu - and completed the biggest upset in the 106-year history of the King's Cup.
