After its prowess in the round of 16, will Atlético de Madrid continue its great adventure in the Copa del Rey? This Thursday (9 p.m.), in the quarterfinals, the Colchoneros face Sevilla FC, a historic club but poorly in the league, on the verge of relegation, but which has an opportunity to save its season. Diego Simeone’s men, led by an Antoine Griezmann in a state of grace, will therefore logically start as favorites for the match.
They will especially want to build on the momentum started by their brilliant victory last week against Real Madrid (4-2). A success snatched at the end of extra time thanks, among other things, to an individual gem from Antoine Griezmann, now the only top scorer in the club’s history. By getting rid of the favorite of the competition, Atlético has opened up the table and can dream of a first victory in the Copa del Rey since 2013.
In the event of qualification for the last four, the capital club will meet the winner of the clash between Athletic Bilbao and FC Barcelona. In the other part of the table, more open, Celta Vigo receives Real Sociedad, while RCD Mallorca receives Girona FC, the thrill team of the season in Spain, current leader of La Liga to everyone’s surprise.
Atlético de Madrid-Seville kicks off this Thursday, January 25 at 9 p.m. The meeting will be broadcast on La Chaîne L’Equipe.
