The derby is here. Our side will face Real Madrid in the Santiago Bernabéu at 4:15 p.m. CET.

Real Madrid are in fine form after their midweek win against Juventus in Turin. Meanwhile, our lads put up a great performance on Thursday’s win against Sporting CP.

Our last derby, the first-ever in the Wanda Metropolitano, ended 0-0 and was an intense match. Both teams had opportunities to score, but great defense by both sides defined the match

Our side is currently four points ahead of our city rivals and a win in this afternoon’s match will see the gap become seven points.

Diego Pablo Simeone understands how important derbies are and has been preparing the lads accordingly for the match.

“With hard work and working collectively, we’re going to set up for an important match.”
