Atlético Madrid aim to equal their best winning streak in the Copa del Rey
Atlético Madrid face Marbella in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey this Saturday at La Rosaleda. The red and whites, currently leading LaLiga, are looking to maintain their impressive streak of consecutive victories, which is currently at 12.
If they win, they will not only advance to the round of 16 of the Copa, but also equal their best winning streak in the history of Atlético, which is 13. The mattress team knows they can’t let their guard down, as smaller teams than Marbella have given them trouble in previous rounds.
Simeone will bet on a completely ‘starter’ eleven, with Musso in goal and Le Normand in the center of the defense. The rest of the team will be made up of the usual in recent calls, such as Griezmann and Julián in attack. Marbella, who play in Primera RFEF, arrive at the duel after beating Bergantiños in the first round and eliminating Burgos. Among their ranks is the forward José Callejón, former Real Madrid, Napoli and Granada player.
