Confirmed XI: Atlético face a tough trip to the Balearic Islands
Atlético de Madrid visits the Estadio Balear today to face Atlético Baleares in the Round of 32 of the Copa del Rey. Although Diego Simeone's team is the clear favorite, the team from Palma de Mallorca is motivated after surprising everyone by eliminating Espanyol in the previous round.
The local team, which plays in the fourth division, relies on the goal-scoring prowess of Jaume Tovar (13 goals this season) to achieve another historic feat. Meanwhile, the "colchonero" team arrives after regaining form with victories against Valencia and PSV, although Simeone will make rotations due to the absences of Baena, Giménez, and Llorente.
The return of Antoine Griezmann to the starting lineup is expected, alongside figures like Alexander Sørloth and Clément Lenglet. Atlético must assert its superiority to avoid surprises against a rival that has already proven to be a "giant killer" in this competition.
