Atlético beats Levante 2-0 to return to Copa quarterfinals

arabnews.com

MADRID: Atlético Madrid returned to the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey for the first time since 2018 by defeating second-division club Levante 2-0 on Wednesday.

Marcos Llorente scored a goal and set up another by Álvaro Morata to send Atlético through to the last eight and help it rebound from two consecutive games without a win in the Spanish league.

Both goals came after the interval after a poor first half by Diego Simeone’s team. “We struggled early, didn’t even get a shot on goal.

It wasn’t our best effort,” Simeone said. “We talked at halftime about playing with the ball. We know these players can play well.” Atlético had last made it to the Copa quarterfinals in the 2017-18 season, when it lost to Sevilla.
