Atletico Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao Copa del Rey Semi-Finals

Turning their focus to Wednesday's Copa del Rey fixture, Atletico Madrid aspires to secure their 11th title, the first since the 2012-13 season. Despite only navigating two rounds due to their Spanish Super Cup participation, they reached their first Copa del Rey semi-final in seven years, defeating Lugo in the last 16 and eliminating current holders Real Madrid in the quarter-finals. With home advantage in the first leg, Atletico is confident, having not suffered a defeat in their last 28 competitive matches at the Metropolitano since January 2023.

Athletic Bilbao, the second-highest Copa del Rey winners, last lifted the trophy in 1984, securing their 23rd title. Despite six runner-up finishes, including consecutive losses in 2021, they now aim to break their trophy drought. After reaching the semi-finals in the last two seasons, they head into their fifth consecutive last-four appearance on a confident note, following a commanding 4-0 home win over Mallorca in La Liga on Friday. Athletic draws inspiration from having already defeated Atletico Madrid this season with a 2-0 victory in December at San Mames.
