Atletico Madrid travelled to San Sebastian today to lock horns with Real Sociedad in the last 16 of the Copa del Rey tonight. Upon their approach to the Reale Arena their bus was assaulted by the home fans, prompting coach Diego Simeone to go to the front of the bus and confront those throwing things.

Things are tense at Atletico right now. They lost the semi-final of the Supercopa de Espana last week to Athletic Club, blowing a 1-0 lead to lose 2-1 in Saudi Arabia. They’re way off the pace in La Liga despite their status as defending champions – Los Colchoneros currently sit fourth, 16 points behind Real Madrid.
