Atlético de Madrid showcased its full power in the Copa del Rey by crushing Getafe 5-0 on Tuesday, securing a spot in the tournament’s semifinals. The victory came thanks to an outstanding performance, led by goals from Giuliano Simeone and Samuel Lino, who made the difference in the first half. With this win, the rojiblanco team proves that the Copa del Rey is one of its main objectives this season.

In just 16 minutes, Atlético had already taken a 2-0 lead, thanks to Giuliano Simeone, who capitalized on a Getafe defensive error to open the scoring in the 8th minute. Samuel Lino, who also shined with his performance, extended the lead with a stunning goal before halftime. Diego Simeone’s team gave their opponent no chance and made it clear that they are aiming for nothing less than the title.

The second half maintained the same intensity. Ángel Correa scored the 4-0 with a powerful shot from outside the box, while Alexander Sorloth sealed the victory with the 5-0 after a great combination with Correa. Getafe was completely overwhelmed and had no way to stop the rojiblanco storm, falling to the energy and precision of the home team.

Atlético displayed great ambition throughout the match, pressing, creating chances, and dismantling their rival quickly and efficiently. Each goal was a testament to their superiority, leaving Getafe with no real chance of a comeback. Simeone’s squad continues to prove they are serious contenders in every competition they play.

The Copa del Rey remains a clear objective for Atlético. This victory puts them in a privileged position, just three games away from a title they haven’t won since 2013. With a squad full of quality and a highly motivated coach, the team is determined to fight for more. The win also comes at a crucial moment, as Atlético prepares for the derby against Real Madrid this Saturday at the Santiago Bernabéu, where LaLiga’s top spot will also be at stake.

With this dominant victory, Atlético de Madrid not only advances to the Copa del Rey semifinals but also sends a strong message to its rivals: they are ready to fight for titles. Simeone’s team remains as intense and ambitious as ever, and now, with the Copa within reach, they are set to face new challenges with their sights firmly set on the next goal.
