| This match from the Copa del Rey promises excitement. When that encounter is also quarter-final, it's safe to say that we should expect a thrilling match. Adding to the drama is the fact that the quarter-finals unlike the semi-finals are decided in a single match. What's particularly interesting about this game is that the two teams will meet twice within four days. From a sporting perspective, both teams are right on track this season. While the capital club is, as usual, the closest challenger to Barcelona and Real Madrid the Andalusians are fighting for European next season. The teams have already met this season. On October 27th, Diego Simeone's team secured a comfortable 2-0 victory in southern Spain. |
