King’s Cup: the four teams that qualified for the semi-finals.
Atlético Madrid, Barcelona, Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad have booked their tickets to the Copa del Rey semi-finals, whose draw is scheduled for this Friday.
The Copa del Rey’s final four is now known, and it has a strong Liga flavor! After the quarterfinals were completed Thursday night, four giants of Spanish football carved out the lion’s share to reach the semi-finals: Atlético Madrid, FC Barcelona, Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad.
The most spectacular display of force undoubtedly goes to Atlético Madrid. Diego Simeone’s men crushed Real Betis by a resounding 5-0, a true hammer blow dealt at the Benito Villamarín. The new signing Ademola Lookman left his mark on this emphatic victory, confirming the Colchoneros’ hot streak.
They thus join a heavyweight trio. FC Barcelona, Athletic Bilbao — historically fond of this competition — and Real Sociedad, as formidable as ever in the cup, complete an exceptional lineup. The trophy will thus be awarded to one of these four favorites.
The time is now for strategic suspense. The semi-final draw will take place later today, defining the two ties that will lead to the final. The first legs are scheduled for February 10 and 11, promising electric atmospheres, before the decisive returns on March 4 and 5. The path toward the “Décima” or toward another crown is open.
