Atleti Conquers Barcelona: Aiming for the Cup from Montjuïc
Atleti is already in Barcelona! The Rojiblancos expedition, led by Cholo Simeone, landed at noon and settled in their concentration hotel, where they received the unconditional affection of the Colchoneros fans.
The fans, full of enthusiasm, encouraged the team with the hope of returning to Madrid with a positive result in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final against Barça. Simeone has almost the entire squad available, although he regrets the injuries of Azpilicueta and Koke.
Despite these absences, the team is confident in its possibilities. Atleti already knows what it is to beat Barça on their own ground this season, a precedent that fuels the hope of the fans and the team. The victory in LaLiga is a clear example that it can be achieved. The objective is clear: avoid defeat in this first match to reach the return leg, which will be played at the Metropolitano on April 2, with an advantage. The fans trust the team to achieve a place in the final! Forza Atleti!
