Griezmann gives Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid the classification in the Copa del Rey<\/h2>\n\nA goal by Frenchman Antoine Griezmann secured Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid’s qualification for the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, after defeating Deportivo in a hard-fought and uninspired match.\n\nThe match, played at Riazor, showed the difficulties of the red and white team away from home. Despite facing a lower-category rival, Atl\u00e9tico fought to dominate the game, but lacked creativity in attack.\n\nEl D\u00e9por, driven by its fans, was not intimidated and showed its potential, complicating the match for Atl\u00e9tico. The Coru\u00f1\u00e9s team took advantage of Atl\u00e9tico’s visit to demonstrate its worth.\n\nThe match began at a frenetic pace, with D\u00e9por showing their intentions. However, it was Griezmann who, with an accurate shot in the 61st minute, defined the match.\n\nThe 0-1 was too unsettling for Atl\u00e9tico, who used their experience to avoid another blow just days after falling to Real Madrid in the Super Cup semi-final.\n\nAtl\u00e9tico faced the threat of a tie, but managed to maintain the advantage thanks to their experience. D\u00e9por had a chance to equalize with a header, but Atl\u00e9tico held firm.\n\n\n

The match, marked by the early expulsion of an Athletic player, was decided in extra time.\n\nAthletic demonstrated their fighting spirit and took advantage of the individual skills of their players, especially Nico Williams, who was key in the match. The Bilbao team has managed to reach the quarter-finals for the sixth time since the format change.\n\nSince the 2019-20 season, Athletic has overcome the majority of single-match ties. The only exception was last season, when Osasuna eliminated them.\n\n\n
