First-ever derby in the Wanda Metropolitano

Atlético de Madrid will host cross-city rivals Real Madrid in the Wanda Metropolitano at 8:45 p.m. CET. It’ll be the first-ever Madrid derby in the Wanda Metropolitano.

Both teams have 23 points, however Real Madrid have lost twice thus far in LaLiga whilst Atlético are unbeaten.

Koke and Carrasco received the medical clearance and are fit to play. Their return to the squad will reinforce Atlético’s midfield.

Thomas Partey along with Ángel Correa are our top goalscorers, thus far in the season with four goals each. Both players hope to keep up their good goalscoring form to find the back of the net in the derby.

Diego Pablo Simeone knows the importance of a derby and is positive both the players and the fans will give it their all Saturday night.

“The only thing that I’m thinking is that the team plays well, that tomorrow I’ll have 18 players who know how we’re going to play and that the team plays with ambition, enthusiasm and even more ambition in tomorrow’s match. ”
