ATL vs RM Match Details

Venue: Metropolitano Stadium, Madrid  


ATL vs RM Match Preview


Atletico Madrid will involve themselves in another nerve-wracking derby with Real Madrid just a week after losing 5-3 after extra-time to city rivals in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final. It was a frustrating loss for Los Colchoneros who twice got the lead in the match but failed to sustain it. Back from Saudi Arabia, Diego Simeone’s side will wish for a change of fortune this time with the stage being the Copa Del Rey this time. Hosting the last-16 clash, the team will be desperate to clear the fresh memories of the defeat by securing consecutive wins over the Super Cup winners at Metropolitano. That 3-1 victory in La Liga last year remains their speck of motivation for the side who have been knocked out from two of the last three Copa Del Rey tournaments at this stage. Sustaining a disappointing form of just two wins in the last six matches, Atletico are fearing the worst again with their rivals going strength to strength since losing to them in September 2023.       

Fresh from thrashing rivals Barcelona 4-1 in the Spanish Super Cup final at Riyadh, Real Madrid will take on the task of defending another cup title on their return to Spain. Their stay in the Copa Del Rey will be at stake as they make the trip to city rivals Atletico, the only place Los Blancos have been unsuccessful this season. Having beaten the side on the course of lifting a 13th Supercopa and coming up 3-1 victors after another extra-time drama in the last Copa Del Rey meeting, Ancelotti’s side will be confident of doing the reverse at the venue this time. Real Madrid are turning out to be an unpreventable force carrying a stunning 21-game unbeaten run with seven straight wins under the belt, 17 goals scored and only eight conceded. Even though they have just one win in the last five visits to Metropolitano, an unlikely complacency from the visitors could end their title defence.
