Atletico Madrid are the only side to have beaten Real Madrid this season.

Atletico beat Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey round-of-16 clash, which was played at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.

Speaking after the game, Atletico boss Diego Simeone paid a major compliment to the Los Blancos, claiming Real Madrid are the best team in the world.

“Real Madrid are surely the best in the world,” the Argentine said after Atletico defeated Ancelotti’s men 4-2 in extra time, as quoted by Diario AS.

“They do counterattack, run the distance, score from middle as they have a big striker, that’s why they win almost every game. It’s not luck. They’re good but we also compete well. All our games were close.

“It’s very difficult to win against Real Madrid, they have a lot of options, that’s why they win almost everything. When do they lose?”
