The Atlético de Madrid thrashed Real Betis 5-0 at the Benito Villamarín on Thursday (5th), in the quarter-finals of the 2025/26 Copa del Rey.

With this victory, the Colchoneros made history by achieving their largest away win in the Copa del Rey against a La Liga rival. 

Betis, on the other hand, experienced a bitter chapter.

After all, the Andalusian team suffered its second-largest home defeat in the history of the tournament.

The first was in 1959, with a 0-6 loss against Barcelona. Now, more than six decades later, history painfully repeated itself.
