Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid Live stream, TV channel, kick-off time & where to watch

Real Madrid will welcome crosstown rivals Atletico Madrid Estadio Santiago Bernabeu for a Copa del Rey encounter on Thursday.

Los Blancos sealed their place in the quarter-finals courtesy of a thrilling comeback against Villarreal from two goals down to win 3-2. They have failed to reach the final of the Copa del Rey in the past eight years and will look to amend the record with a victory against familiar rivals. Carlo Ancelotti's troops have struggled to keep clean sheets this season but their performance against Athletic Club over the weekend, when they shut out the Basque team, will boost their confidence before taking on the likes of Antoine Griezmann and Alvaro Morata.

Atletico, meanwhile, will be vying for revenge for their loss earlier this season in La Liga. They put in a clinical show against Real Valladolid last weekend to emerge 3-0 winners with both strikers, Morata and Griezmann, finding the net. They are already out of European competition and 13 points behind league leaders Barcelona. Hence, this tournament remains their only realistic hope of getting silverware. They have shown good form on the road, winning four and drawing one, and will hope to stun their eternal rivals for a semi-final berth.
