Atlético: An Innovative Lineup for the Cup Battle!
Cholo Simeone surprised Atlético fans with a bold and refreshing lineup for the crucial Copa del Rey match against FC Barcelona. The Argentine coach opted for fresh blood and proven experience to face the challenge at the Metropolitano.

The midfield was renewed with the energy and talent of Pablo Barrios, who accompanied the tireless Marcos Llorente and Rodrigo De Paul in the middle.
In attack, the magic of Antoine Griezmann was joined by the freshness and goalscoring instinct of Julián Álvarez and the spark of Giuliano Simeone, seeking to unbalance the Culé defense and unleash euphoria in the stands. A lineup with ambition, talent and the characteristic spirit of Atlético, ready to give everything in search of victory and passage to the next round. Aúpa Atleti!
