Atletico’s Copa del Rey Quest Continues
Atletico Madrid is set to face Marbella in their third Copa del Rey match, following previous victories against Vic and Cacereño. The team will travel to Malaga today, with manager Simeone likely to field a familiar lineup.
Notable absences from the team include Giménez, who is nursing a muscular injury, and Oblak, who has been working on the sidelines. This has led to Musso taking the reins in the Cup tournament.
A Strong Lineup Expected
Despite these absences, Atletico is expected to field a strong lineup, with Griezmann and Julián leading the charge. The team has been on a hot streak, with 12 consecutive victories, and a win tonight would equal the club’s best-ever streak under Simeone’s management.
The match holds special significance for the Argentine manager, who made his debut at the Rosalesa stadium 13 years ago. The stadium is expected to be packed, with over 30,000 tickets sold.
