Copa Del Rey 2017: Round of 16, Leg 2 Results and Updated Fixtures After Tuesday

Atletico Madrid are through to the quarter-final of the 2017 Copa del Rey, despite losing 3-2 to Las Palmas at the Vicente Calderon on Tuesday. Two goals from Croatian striker Marko Livaja and a late winner from Mateo Garcia cancelled out strikes from Antoine Griezmann and Angel Correa for the hosts in the second leg of this last-16 tie.

Atleti still made it through, 4-3 on aggregate, but the Madrid club hardly served notice to their rivals they are a team to be feared in this competition.

Atletico manager Diego Simeone will bemoan some defensive lapses. He'll also know those mistakes have given hope to rivals such as Real Madrid and holders Barcelona, who won't believe Atletico are strong enough to win the tournament.
