The heated Madrid derby will be played again this Sunday evening, this time as part of the 23rd round of La Liga.
Real-Atlético, pre-match
This is already the fourth time that Madrid’s two flagship clubs have faced each other this season. With an advantage taken by Atlético until then since the Matelassiers won the first leg in the championship (3-1) and eliminated the Merengues in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey (4-2 after extra time). The White House took the upper hand in the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup (5-3 after extra time)
As for La Liga, however, Real is playing for the title with a 10-point lead over its colchonero rival, currently relegated to the fourth level. Thanks to a series of six victories in the league, Carlo Ancelotti’s men have taken control of the Spanish elite in Girona and can further widen the gap this evening. More irregular, Atlético has no alternative to winning if it wants to still claim the coronation at the end of the year.
Real-Atlético, the probable lineups
In addition to Courtois, Alaba and Militao, Real must do without the services of Tchouaméni this evening, who is suspended. The slaughter in defense pushed the White House coach to align Camavinga in central defense. Atlético is not left out with the absences of Azpilicueta, Gimenez, Lemar and Vitolo, without forgetting the uncertainty surrounding the Morata case.
real Madrid: Lunin – Carvajal, Nacho, Camavinga, Mendy – Valverde, Kroos, Modric – Bellingham – Rodrygo, Vinicius.
Atletico Madrid: Oblak – Savic, Witsel, Hermoso – Molina, De Paul, Koke, Saul, Lino – Morata, Griezmann.
