Atletico Madrid eye Real scalp

MADRID. — Atletico Madrid have a chance to pile more King’s Cup misery on neighbours Real after eliminating Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday to set up a last-four clash against the bitter city rivals they beat in last year’s final. Atletico’s battling 2-1 comeback victory in a rain-lashed quarter-final, second leg in the Basque Country, which made it 3-1 on aggregate, was Bilbao’s first reverse at their new San Mames arena and meant Diego Simeone’s side, who are joint top of La Liga and through to the last 16 of the Champions League, are still fighting on three fronts. — Reuters.
