Real Madrid Breaks 4,435-Match Record as No Spaniard in Starting XI

The Copa Del Rey is back and this time out in the quarter finals, it’s the Madrid derby as Real Madrid will host thier city rivals Atletico Madrid at the Santiago Bernebeu. Given the history of both sides, there is no doubt they’ll absolutely give it their all in this encounter. Now coming into this game, both teams have had some similar results as both of them have won 3 out of their last 5 matches in all competitions. The last time these two faced each other was 4 months ago in La Liga at the Wanda Metripolitano where Los Blancos emerged victorious by a scoreline of 2-1.

Hence, this time out Diego Simeone’s men would be motivated more than ever to take revenge against their arch rivals and progress to the semi finals. Atletico do know that, this is the only trophy that they can realistically win this season and this is the main reason why, they would be looking to have the perfect game of the season. However, beating the European champions won’t be that easy cause Atleti have only won 2 times in their last 13 matches against Real Madrid.

Now given that Carlo Ancelotti recently lost the Spanish Super Cup against FC Barcelona, he has the chance to redeem his team by winning in the quarter finals against a team like Atletico Madrid. Los Blancos would also be receiving the sensational home crowd support which would likely make them win this encounter.
