Chelsea Transfer News: Atletico Expose Chelsea But Blues Deny Bidding
It may seem hard to degrade transfer reports from a reputable source such as The Sun onto transfer rumours – unless Chelsea are suggesting that a certain Miguel Angel Gil Marin is a pure liar. In a blunt statement while talking to The Sun, the Atletico Madrid general director exposed the Blues by declaring:“This very week, Chelsea were giving me £52M for him [Sergio Aguero] and Godin. And I told them exactly the same thing [as I told Real Madrid with a ‘no’].
“I’m not going to negotiate the sale of Aguero.”
Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid: Ousting Real’s My First Task – Atletico’s Juanfran
Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will lock horns in arguably the most interesting Copa del Rey quarter-final match.

Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid: Impressive Kaka Could Start For Real Madrid
Kaka made his first appearance in the 2010/11 La Liga campaign when Real Madrid played away to Getafe on January 3. The Brazilian star enjoyed 15 minutes of football as promised by Jose Mourinho in that particular fixture. He came in for Karim Benzema in the 76th minute and was only inches away from making it a dream return to action with a goal. Kaka then featured in Real Madrid’s 2-0 defeat away to Levante which didn’t prevent Los Blancos from reaching the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey thanks to an 8-2 aggregate victory. In that game, the star midfielder was granted more playing time as he came off the bench 4 minutes before the hour mark.

Atletico Madrid Coach, Quique Sanchez Flores: Forlan Too Good For Three
Quique Sanchez Flores’ belief in Diego Forlan is remarkably enormous, and why so? Because Diego Forlan hasn’t scored for Atletico Madrid in his last 10 outings, but ahead of El Derbi, the manager still trust the potential of the Uruguayan who clinched the 2010 World Cup Golden Ball Award. Going further in a statement to Canal+ in which he avowed his confidence in Diego Forlan, the Atletico coach even tipped the striker to break his poor goal scoring run in total fashion as he explained:
“I’ve got no doubt in Forlan. If there’s any player who can score a hat-trick in any game, and even in Sunday’s derby game, then it has to be Diego Forlan. Remember that this is a year where he’s been good enough to win the Gold Ball.”

Lionel Messi’s Injury-Maker Ujfalusi Is Not Malicious – Atletico Madrid’s Cerezo
However, club President Enrique Cerezo has appealed for a better treatment of the guilty defender. Although it appears to be terrible on the picture, Atletico Madrid’s president Enrique Cerezo has insisted that guilty defender Tomas Ujfalusi didn’t injure Lionel Messi with intent. As he tried to calm things down, Cerezo explained while speaking to Spanish media Marca:
“It was a normal input in the box, and we all threw our hands to our heads when we saw the red card because we didn’t think the tackle was that bad. Replays show that you could think more about decision, though.
Lionel Messi, I’m Sorry – Atletico Madrid’s Guilty Tomas Ujfalusi

UEFA Super Cup: Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid – Rafa Wants More Titles
Both coaches were formerly at Inter Milan where they enjoyed success before engaging in a new adventure. Now Rafael Benitez, who failed to end Liverpool’s long term English Premier League title curse during his six years with the Reds, has dared to challenge his predecessors. In a bold statement following Inter Milan’s Italian Super Cup triumph against rivals AS Roma, the Internazionale boss stated:
“Mancini won here, then Mourinho did, and now it’s my turn. I hope to win more than they did. Already this season, we can win six trophies. We have won our first trophy of the year, but that one was won by a group of players, not by the coach.”

Copa Del Rey’s History – A Quick Look Back
The Campeonato de Espana – Copa de Su Majestad El Rey Don Juan Carlos I is better known as the Copa del Rey which means "the King’s Cup" in English. It currently carries the name of Spain’s reigning king, Juan Carlos I. Firstly initiated in the year 1902, under the idea of Spanish football pioneer Carlos Padros who wanted to celebrate Alfonso XIII’s coronation, the Copa del Rey comprised only four teams. Those were Athletic Bilbao, Espanyol, Barcelona, and Real Madrid. Records tell that Los Blancos defeated Bilbao in the final of that mini tournament.
However, Club Vizcaya (a club that was made of Athletic Club and Bilbao FC players) are regarded as the 1902 winners of the Copa del Rey. FC Barcelona are the most successful club in the Copa del Rey history, having won the trophy 25 times while Athletic Bilbao come just behind the Catalans with 23 (or 24 cups, depending on the source).

Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid – La Liga Match Preview
This encounter promises to offer a lot of entertainment and drama as well. Atletico Madrid possess the title of being the only side to have beaten Barcelona in La Liga this season, going into Day 29.

Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona – La Liga Match Preview
A revenge for Atletico Madrid?
Statistics from the past show that Atletico Madrid have been very inconsistent in their recent league meetings against Barcelona. The Madrid side were somehow qualified enough to put 4 goals past the goal line of the Catalans on 2 occasions in the last 2 Spanish League seasons; but they also have negative memories against Barcelona related to their humiliating 6-1 and 5-2 defeats in the last 16 months.
This season, Madrid are striving to obtain a firm place at least in the first half of the league table – if they do not manage to secure a place in the Europa League for next season.
The battle is hard for them, and moreover, in addition to their plans to keep their place in all competitions this season, Atletico Madrid have to think about the health of their players – due to a busy month with domestic and European games in their schedule.
