Samuel Lino seized the opportunity from close range to give Atletico the lead, but a twist of fate occurred when keeper Jan Oblak inadvertently knocked Luka Modric's free-kick into his own net, leveling the score for Real.
Alvaro Morata swiftly reclaimed the lead for Atletico, only to see Joselu head in Jude Bellingham's cross in the 82nd minute, bringing Real back into contention. The tension escalated as Antoine Griezmann skillfully cut in and fired home from a tight angle in the 100th minute, tilting the balance in favor of Diego Simeone's side. Rodrigo Riquelme then secured the victory with a fourth goal.
These crucial goals propelled Atletico Madrid into the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey. This thrilling clash marked the second encounter between the two teams in just eight days, following Real's 5-3 victory after extra time in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final in Saudi Arabia.

In that prior game, Griezmann notched his club-record 174th goal, and his solo strike at the Civitas Metropolitano in this match marked an impressive milestone of 175 goals for the 32-year-old.
Looking ahead, both teams will return to league action this weekend. Real Madrid, hosting Almeria on Sunday, is trailing surprise leaders Girona by just one point. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid, currently fifth, will be visiting Granada on Monday in their pursuit of climbing the league standings.
