Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid Football Match will be in 17-05-2013 at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu (Madrid), Spanish Copa del Rey Final .
Real have contested the final of the competition a massive 37 times, out
of which they won 18. They defeated Barcelona in the final last year,
and so they are the reigning champions of this competition too. The men
in white have been in decent form of late although they were held to a
1-1 draw by Espanyol last weekend. Before that, they had won four
straight games. Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane will miss the final due to a knee
injury. However they have some players who are expected to return for
the clash, Alvaro Arbeloa, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo and Mesut Ozil are all
likely to overcome their minor injuries.
Atletico Madrid has no new injuries to report and midfielder Mario
Suarez has recovered from his back injury and is ready to replace Tiago.Atletico have won several Europa League titles in recent years, but they
have been going through a bit of a drought on the domestic front. Los
Colchoneros last lifted the Copa del Rey trophy back in 1996 and could
have ended their barren patch three years ago, but Sevilla defeated them
in the final.
