Atletico Madrid is aiming for its 11th Spanish Cup and first since 2013, with a 3-2 aggregate victory over Premier League leaders Arsenal. This victory follows a 2-1 home defeat that saw Atletico move into the last four of the Champions League. Despite a reputation as knockout specialists, Atletico's dominance has been waning since their victory in the Europa League in 2018. The team's domestic form has not helped ease the pressure, with Atletico currently fourth in LaLiga, 22 points behind leaders Barcelona. Manager Diego Simeone, who has been with the club for 14 years, expressed his excitement over the team's performance.
