Atletico Madrid faces a crucial Copa del Rey quarter-final against Getafe, who are on an unbeaten streak this year. Despite their position in LaLiga, Getafe's performances indicate they are a formidable opponent. Coach Diego Simeone emphasizes a single-match focus, stating, "We live from match to match," highlighting the importance of concentrating on their immediate challenges. With Atletico aiming for their first Copa del Rey title since 2013, Simeone acknowledges the pressure but embraces the challenge ahead, aiming to secure a win to stay competitive in both tournaments.
"We live from match to match, from day to day. There is no other thought than tomorrow's game," Simeone told reporters on Monday.
"The profile of the coach and the team is very clear. The last few games they have played, with Real Sociedad, Barcelona and Sevilla, speak of a great intensity of play.
"Obviously we all have the objective of going through and reaching the final of the Copa del Rey," he said.
"They know what they are playing for, and when a team knows what they are playing for, they are always dangerous."
