Atletico Score Twice in Extra Time to Knock Real Madrid out
Published on 19.01.2024
Antoine Griezmann showcased his exceptional skills by netting a remarkable goal in extra time, propelling Atletico Madrid to victory over Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey clash.
Atletico seized the lead when Samuel Lino capitalized on an opportunity near the goal, but their joy was short-lived. Real Madrid equalized after Atletico’s goalkeeper, Jan Oblak, accidentally redirected Luka Modric’s free-kick into his own net.

The match continued its high pace as Alvaro Morata reclaimed the lead for Atletico, only for Real’s Joselu to level the score again, nodding in a cross from Jude Bellingham in the 82nd minute.
However, the spotlight was on Griezmann as he skillfully maneuvered and scored from a challenging angle in the 100th minute, marking his 175th goal for the club. Rodrigo Riquelme later added another goal, securing Atletico Madrid’s spot in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals.

This intense match was a follow-up to another electrifying encounter just a week prior, where Real Madrid triumphed over Atletico in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final held in Saudi Arabia, winning 5-3 after extra time.
The teams are gearing up for their upcoming league matches. Real Madrid is set to host Almeria on Sunday, currently trailing just one point behind the unexpected frontrunners, Girona. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid, positioned fifth in the league, is preparing for their visit to Granada on Monday.
