Atletico Madrid put on a stunning show to book their place in the Copa del Rey semifinals. They demolished Getafe 5-0 at the Metropolitano Stadium on Wednesday morning, February 5, 2025.
It was an easy game for Atletico, who dominated from start to finish. Getafe, currently struggling in La Liga, could not handle the attacking pressure. Atletico, even without some of their biggest stars, were simply too strong.
Simeone’s Men Show Their Strength
Coach Diego Simeone decided to rest key players, including Jan Oblak, Antoine Griezmann, and Angel Correa. Despite this, Atletico looked sharp. The squad depth was on full display as the young talents stepped up.
One of the standout performers was Giuliano Simeone, the son of the coach. He started the match and wasted no time proving his worth. The 21-year-old scored twice, leading Atletico’s early dominance.
Getafe, on the other hand, had no response. They struggled to get the ball out of their half and barely tested Atletico’s goalkeeper.
Quickfire Goals Sink Getafe
Atletico started aggressively and got the breakthrough in just eight minutes. Giuliano headed in a cross from Javi Galan to open the scoring. The early goal fired up the hosts, who kept pushing forward.
Just nine minutes later, Giuliano struck again. This time, he converted a smart assist from Rodrigo De Paul. His quick brace put Atletico in full control, leaving Getafe with no answers.
Atletico did not slow down. In the 30th minute, Samu Lino had a golden chance but was denied by Getafe’s goalkeeper, Jiri Letacek. However, Lino made up for it in the 40th minute with a brilliant solo goal. The Brazilian dribbled past defenders before smashing the ball into the net.
At halftime, Atletico led 3-0, and the match looked all but over.
More Goals, More Misery for Getafe
The second half started with Atletico still in attack mode. Giuliano thought he had scored a hat-trick in the 49th minute, but his goal was ruled out for offside. Despite that, the young Argentine received a standing ovation when he was substituted later.
Angel Correa, who came on in the second half, made an impact. He scored in the 78th minute to extend Atletico’s lead to 4-0. Correa was not done yet—he later assisted Alexander Sorloth, who made it 5-0 in the 86th minute.
The final whistle confirmed a dominant victory for Atletico Madrid. Getafe were completely outclassed and never looked like making a comeback.
Giuliano Simeone Steals the Show
After the match, Giuliano expressed his joy.
“I am very happy. This was an amazing night for me,” he said. “I thank my teammates for their hard work.”
He also acknowledged that there is still room for improvement.
“I need to keep learning and improving. We have a big game coming up against Real Madrid,” he added.
What’s Next for Atletico?
Atletico now wait for their semifinal opponent. The tournament is still fierce, with Barcelona and Real Madrid also fighting for a place in the last four. Atletico fans will be hoping for another strong performance in the next round.
In La Liga, Atletico will face their city rivals Real Madrid next. That match will be a major test of their title hopes.
