By Richard Martin BARCELONA (Reuters) - Real Madrid crashed out of the King's Cup quarter-finals 4-3 on aggregate after being held to a 2-2 draw at Celta Vigo on Wednesday in another major setback for the stuttering European champions. Real twice fought back to equalize on a rainswept evening in Galicia but it was not enough to save them from being eliminated in a knockout competition for the first time under Zidane who oversaw a Spanish record 40-game unbeaten run before successive defeats this month. An own goal from Brazilian defender Danilo put Celta ahead in the 44th minute but Cristiano Ronaldo leveled for Real by lashing in a free kick from 28 meters in the 62nd.
