The final spot in the Copa del Rey semi-finals is currently up for grabs as Real Betis vs Atlético Madrid’s lineups are gearing up at the Estadio La Cartuja tonight, February 5, 2026.

With heavyweights Barcelona, Real Sociedad, and Athletic Bilbao already through, the stakes are at an absolute maximum for these two La Liga rivals.

Confirmed Starting Lineups and Team News

Despite earlier injury doubts, Antoine Griezmann has successfully cleared fitness tests and is included in Diego Simeone’s matchday squad, though he begins on the bench. The big news for Atlético is the immediate inclusion of new signing Ademola Lookman, who makes his debut in the starting XI following his €35 million move from Atalanta.

  • Atlético Madrid (4-4-2): Musso; Pubill, Giménez, Hancko, Ruggeri; Giuliano, Llorente, Cardoso, Lookman; Almada, Julián Álvarez.

Betis remains without key creative forces Isco and Giovani Lo Celso, while veteran goalkeeper Adrian continues his run as the designated cup starter.
