MADRID - Defending champion Real Madrid hopes to recover from a 2-0 first leg loss at Atletico Madrid and stay in contention in Spains Copa del Rey.Atletico coach Diego Simeone, renowned for his optimism, will aim to motivate his squad to succeed again after a bruising 3-1 defeat at Barcelona on Sunday.Here are some things to know about the round of 16 return-leg Copa games this week:___EL NINO IS EAGERAtletico faces a tough visit Thursday to the Santiago Bernabeu where it must contain Madrid to advance to the quarterfinals.Given the teams need to defend, Fernando Torres, back on loan with Atletico, may be left on the bench against its cross-town rival.Torres has scored twice against Madrid, once at Liverpool in the English teams 4-0 — 5-0 on aggregate — trouncing of the Spanish powerhouse in the 2009 Champions League and for Atletico in a 1-1 league draw in 2007.However, the 30-year-old striker is eager to be involved.Its a great feeling when you win against a big opponent, when you defeat the best team in the world, said Torres. Our first leg score gives us many possibilities of moving to the next stage, but were playing at the Bernabeu.You know that 90 minutes is a long time at the Bernabeu.___TEAM BUILDINGSimeone maintains the only way a smaller-budget club can beat a big-spending team is with teamwork.Since taking over from Jose Mourinho as coach at star-studded Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti has relied on the individual quality of Cristiano Ronaldo who, this season, has scored 26 goals in 20 appearances.Yet in his subtle way, Ancelotti has also made clear that the team comes first.After fans at the Bernabeu booed winger Gareth Bale for trying to score, instead of passing to the better-positioned Ronaldo, during the teams 3-0 win against Espanyol, Ancelotti laid down the law.Bale is just as fundamental for us as Cristiano, he said. If we see selfish behaviour, we will deal with it.___DAMAGE CONTROLBarcelona has moved into damage control mode after facing a wave of off-field problems.After its win against Atletico, the normally camera-shy Lionel Messi was presented to appear before the media to dispel rumours.Im grateful to be able to give my version, Messi said. Ive heard all sorts of things said.The Argentina forward said he had heard of alleged bad feeling between himself and former coach Pep Guardiola as well as former players Bojan Krkic and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.All that was lies and I want people to know it, he said. Everything that was said is false.Messi heaped praise on fellow forwards Neymar and Luis Suarez. Luis is capable of scoring lots of goals and he fights for every ball as if it were his last, he said. He gives us his all and Neymar has a lot to give, as he is proving.Barcelona travels to Elche on Thursday to defend a 5-0 first-leg lead.___ANADLUCIAN CLASHSevilla defends a 2-1 advantage when it hosts Andalucian rival Granada on Wednesday.Coach Unai Emerys Sevilla team is currently fourth in the league after beating Almeria 2-0 at the weekend.

With the teams skating 4-on-4 and the Rangers taking advantage of a delayed penalty, Brassard took a cross-zone feed from defenceman Marc Staal and fired a shot past Evgeni Nabokov to give his team a 2-1 lead. Brad Richards provided insurance with 5:01 remaining, ripping a drive in off Nabokov, and Ryan McDonagh added an empty-net goal with 1 second left. Staal had two assists and Henrik Lundqvist made 38 saves for the Rangers, who have won three straight and six of eight. Brian Boyle gave the Rangers a 1-0 lead in the first period before Kyle Okposo tied it in the second. The Rangers topped the Islanders 2-1 outdoors at Yankee Stadium on Daniel Carcillos third-period goal Wednesday night and won the season series 3-2. The teams met for the third time in 11 days. Nabokov made 33 saves for the sliding Islanders, who dropped their fifth straight (0-4-1) after winning seven of nine. They controlled play in the second period, holding an 18-6 edge in shots, and got even on Okposos 24th goal. During a power play, the Islanders spent much of the advantage in the Rangers zone and tied it 5 seconds after McDonagh left the penalty box. Calvin de Haan fired a shot from inside the blue line at the right point that Lundqvist knockeed away.dddddddddddd But the puck came to Okposo near the left post. He settled it down and sent a shot in to make it 1-all with 5:32 left in the second. Okposo got right back on the score sheet after being blanked at Yankee Stadium. He has scored a goal in five of seven games and has six assists in that span. The Rangers held a 1-0 lead at the end of the first period after outshooting the Islanders 14-12. They recorded the first six shots, but later trailed 11-9 before going back on top. Boyle scored his fourth of the season and 50th in the NHL when he deflected Staals shot from the centre of the blue line off the crossbar and past Nabokov at 3:29. It was Boyles first goal in 12 games but his third point in three games after he posted an assist in each of the two Yankee Stadium contests. After weathering the early Rangers onslaught, the Islanders generated plenty of pressure and drew the only power play of the period when Brassard held de Haan in the offensive zone. The Islanders had four shots on the advantage. Lundqvists best stop of the period came when he slid across the crease to get his right pad on a one-timer by Josh Bailey in tight. Lundqvist later used his left pad to block Okposos hard drive from the slot. NOTES: The Rangers honoured longtime television voice Sam Rosen before the game for 30 years with the team. ... Boyle has 95 points in 365 NHL games. ... Nabokov made his second straight start after returning from injury in a relief role on Monday.
