Bordalás Faces Historic Challenge: Beating Simeone and Breaking Records
José Bordalás is facing one of the most significant challenges of his career as Getafe’s manager. This Tuesday, at the Metropolitano, his team must overcome Atlético Madrid in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals.
A Getafe victory would not only mean eliminating a historic rival but also breaking several barriers. Bordalás, who has never beaten Diego Simeone in 13 encounters, has the chance to end a streak of 21 defeats and 5 draws for Getafe against Atlético since 2011.
Additionally, the blue team is aiming to achieve five consecutive away wins, a record they have never reached in their official match history. Despite the challenges, Bordalás keeps the illusion intact, although he acknowledges that the chances are ‘very few’. The reality suggests that a Getafe victory would be a historic milestone, not just for the team, but also for their manager.
