Atletico Madrid is now becoming a goal hunter from defending masters and scored 5 goals to advance in Copa Del Rey due to the first-half brace of Giuliano Simeone at Metropolitano on Tuesday.
Atletico Madrid has now become the beast before Madrid derby creating a fear in the mind of Los Blancos
Atletico has now scored 11 goals in 3 matches and conceded just one in all competitions which is very unlikely for a coach like Simeone who prefers to sit back and defend to frustrate opponents. But the approaches changed after losing the first spot to Real Madrid and now Simeone boys are showing rampant in the field. Next match is against Real Madrid who now have just one first-team defender in the form of Jesus Vallejo after the setback of Alaba. So, it would be interesting to see the clash.
Atletico Madrid Is Raining Goals And Secured A 5-Star Win Against Getafe In The Copa Del Rey Quarter-Final
Returning to the game, the attacking intensity of Los Colchoneros was seen from the very first minute and Greizzman lost the chance. First goal came in the 8th minute when Giuliano Simeone, son of Diego Simeone scored a free header from the pass of Galan. He scored his brace just 9 minutes after finishing an attack assisted by Rodrigo de Paul.
Getafe's defensive vulnerability created scope for the home team as defenders drifted out of position breaking lines that made continuous chances for Atletico Madrid. Julian Alverez missed an absolute chance and Letacek saved Lino’s looping finish, otherwise, it could have been 4 goals before halftime. However, Lino made it 3-0 three minutes before the first half ended from Alverez’s pass to recompense his mistake.
Correa hammered the last nail in the coffin of Getafe to advance to CDR next round
At the ending movement of the Match Correa intended to show his capability and scored a rocket from out of the box. Again he took a chance from the defensive howler to set up an attack having Sorloth beside him. The players played a quick one-two to reach the box and Sorloth made no mistake to finish it for a five-star victory for Atletico Madrid.
Simeone rotated the squad considering the Madrid derby on Saturday and gave rest to Sorloth, Correa, Witsel, and Llorente giving a substitute role to the first two. Real Madrid will face Leganes on Wednesday in CDR quarter-finals and before the derby, it is also a warm-up match for Los Blancos to find the defensive duo that is the core issue in the club right now.
