He Atlético de Madrid and all its fans will once again feel a unique sensation: playing a Copa del Rey match at home. Something you can do next week (Thursday, January 18 at 9:30 pm) in front of Real Madriddy that has not been done in five years.
Because to find the last match the red and white played in front of their fans in the KO tournament was on January 16, 2019. That was the second leg match of the round of 16, against Girona. After Montilivi’s 1-1, Metropolitano scored 3-3 in a crazy night that ended with a goal from Doumbia in the 88th minute to give the pass to Eusebio Sacristán’s men for double the amount of goals in the opposite field.
Last season, Atlético visited Almazán, Arenteiro, Oviedo, Levante and Real Madridd; on 21/22, at Rayo Majadahonda and Real Sociedad; on 20/21, at Cardassar and Cornellà, from which he was removed; on 19/20, only Leonese culturewhich knocked the colchoneros out of the Cup. And in 18/19, at Sant Andreu and Girona.
SOMETIMES AT HOME… BUT OUTSIDE
In fact, the red and white team played a Cup match at the Metropolitano this time. It was against Rayo Majadahonda, which they gave the field to, although the Majariego team played at home.
Exactly five years later, Atlético will host a high-flying match in its stadium. The stadium will be packed for the third league derby of the season, after the league match played at the Metropolitano and this Wednesday at Arabia, the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup.
