Spain take aim at Atlético de Madrid

Atlético de Madrid undoubtedly lost more than the semi-final in the Copa del Rey yesterday.

Blame it on the Williams brothers, Inaki and Nico, then Guruzeta, all scorers. 3-0 victors, Lyons will head into the final in Mallorca where they will be favourites. “We started with three occasions where we should have done betterDiego Simeone at a press conference. They, first, they score”Argentina coach regrets, orphaned by Griezmann yesterday.

“We have to be strong, we have the qualities to do that. Four weeks ago you said Morata was having the best year of his career and that is no longer the case. The goals will come, we believe in our offensive and defensive qualities.
