Atlético Madrid Aims for the Semifinals Against Getafe
Atlético Madrid is preparing for a crucial match against Getafe in the Copa del Rey, aiming to reach the semifinals. Simeone, who has faced Getafe 26 times without defeat, will look to maintain this record.
Although recent matches at the Metropolitano ended in draws, Atlético secured a narrow victory in the last encounter. Getafe, led by Bordalás, arrives with several key absences, including Diego Rico, Coba, and Álvaro, which could weaken their performance.
Despite this, Getafe has proven to be an uncomfortable opponent, with constant pressure and the ability to disrupt rival plays. Simeone may make changes to his starting lineup, including the return of De Paul and possible rotations in the attack, with Sorloth, Griezmann, or Correa as options. The Copa del Rey represents an opportunity for Atlético to get closer to a final they haven’t played in for twelve years, and Simeone will aim to keep his team’s hopes alive.
