Esteban vs. Esteban: Red and White Passion in the Youth Copa del Rey
Atlético de Madrid faces Betis in the quarterfinals of the Youth Copa del Rey, in a match with a special flavor for the Esteban family. Brothers Paco and Sergio, former teammates in the Colchoneros Academy, will face each other defending the green and white and red and white colors, respectively.
Paco, now in Betis’ ranks, seeks revenge after the Champions Cup final lost to Atlético, where he also played. After a time when he felt his prominence diminished, Paco embarked on a new path in Seville.
For his part, Sergio has become a key piece in Atlético’s youth forward line, standing out for his speed and goalscoring ability. The match represents a fraternal duel full of emotions, with their father, Francisco Esteban, present at the Metropolitano to support his sons.
Both brothers have had a similar season in terms of goalscoring numbers, demonstrating their quality and potential. Sergio has had the opportunity to train with the first team under Simeone, while Paco has already made his debut in Primera RFEF with Betis Deportivo. This clash, the first official one between the brothers, promises to be a spectacle full of passion and talent, where Atlético will seek to secure their place in the semifinals of the Youth Copa del Rey.
