Guijuelo 0-6 Atletico Madrid: Simeone's men steamroller hosts

The Segunda Division B club were thoroughly outclassed by their illustrious rivals, who never looked in danger of falling to a shock upset

Yannick Carrasco proved key for a much-changed Atletico Madrid side as he scored a double in a 6-0 hammering of third-tier Guijuelo in the first leg of their Copa del Rey round of 32 clash on Wednesday.

Diego Simeone rested a host of his regulars, including the likes of Antoine Griezmann and Diego Godin, for the trip, but the changes had little impact on Atletico's ability to get the job done, as Carrasco played a starring role in attack.
