Atlético Madrid will be looking for revenge as they welcome Barcelona to the Vicente Calderón this Tuesday evening.
The side from the capital were thrashed 6-1 at the Camp Nou earlier in the season and now, in the Copa Del Rey, they have a chance to atone.
Pep Guardiola has already revealed that he will not be taking some of his biggest names to the match, and today, Javier Aguirre announced that his greatest of them all will be on the bench to start with.
Marca reports that the Mexican has decided to leave Sergio Agüero on the bench, whilst elsewhere he has made five other changes to the side that lost to Valencia at the weekend.
Los Rojiblancos welcome back Maxi Rodríguez and Maniche, both of who missed the match at the Mestalla due to injury, and there is also a change in the defence.
Tomas Ujfalusi and Mariano Pernía go out, and the back four now consists of Giourkas Seitaridis, Johnny Heitinga, Luis Perea and Antonio López.
In midfield, Paulo Assuncao retains his spot, as does Simao, and Florent Simana-Pongolle, who came on against Valencia, starts up front with Diego Forlán.
The rest of the players in the squad are Leo Franco, Ujfalusi, Éver Banega, Miguel de las Cuevas and Agüero.
