Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid live preview Copa del Rey

Atletico Madrid：

Mayhem unfolded when cross-town rivals Atletico and Real clashed in last Wednesday's Supercopa de España semi-final. After a six-goal spectacle in the regulation 90 minutes, an additional 30 minutes were needed to separate the two heavyweights. Failing to secure victory in the latest Madrid derby signifies Atletico's third consecutive setback in Supercopa de España ventures. Nevertheless, Diego Simeone's side can still hold onto aspirations of Copa del Rey glory, at least for the next 48 hours.

Real Madrid：

Just days after delivering a stellar performance against Atletico in the Supercopa semi-final, Real Madrid geared up for another epic derby to determine the trophy-holder in Riyadh, this time facing Barcelona in El Clasico.Real Madrid took advantage of Barcelona's high defensive line, allowing Vinicius Junior to tap twice into an empty net. Despite Robert Lewandowski's powerful volley narrowing the gap in the first half, Vinicius completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot, followed by goals from Rodrygo. Ronald Araujo's dismissal further diminished Barcelona's chances.After securing Supercopa title number 13, Real Madrid resumes the defense of their Copa del Rey honor from the 2022-23 season. Similar to Atletico, their Copa del Rey journey began with a 3-1 victory away against lower-league opposition, specifically Arandina.

Analysis：

Although Atletico's recent overall form might not be impressive, they boast an extraordinary 25-game unbeaten streak at the Metropolitano Stadium. They have won 11 of their last 12 matches at this venue, maintaining an undefeated record for over a year.With Atletico benefiting from a more extended recovery period following their Middle Eastern endeavors, a potentially jet-lagged Real Madrid will face a daunting challenge this time. The defending Copa del Rey champions could find themselves in a precarious position against their motivated rivals and might witness their title defense come to an abrupt end.
