The Riyadh Metropolitan Air hosts a high-voltage clash this Saturday (March 7) between the two Copa del Rey finalists. Atlético de Madrid and Real Sociedad face off in LaLiga with ambitious goals: "Cholo" Simeone aims to secure his stronghold to stay in the title race, while the team from San Sebastián needs points to solidify their European aspirations.

With Antoine Griezmann as the main threat and absolute trend, Atlético will rely on their usual defensive solidity and a lineup without rotations despite the packed schedule.

On the other hand, Pellegrino Matarazzo's Real arrives with the ambition to regain momentum after irregular results, betting on possession and high pressure to unsettle the hosts. After the 1-1 draw in the first leg, this match will serve as the perfect gauge to measure strengths before both teams compete for the cup trophy.
