Huge match at the Bernabéu!
Atlético de Madrid visit the Santiago Bernabéu to face Real Madrid this Saturday at 21:00 CET, with just one point separating the two teams in the league table.
After a dominant Copa del Rey victory over Getafe on Tuesday 4 February at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, Diego Pablo Simeone’s side have a huge clash ahead of them at the Santiago Bernabéu against their city rivals. Atlético have secured 1-1 draws in their last two LaLiga visits to the Bernabéu, both occurring on Matchday 23, the same fixture as this season.
Atlético de Madrid have already sealed their place in the Champions League Round of 16 and await their next opponent, whereas Real Madrid must take on Manchester City over the next two weeks, first in England and then in Madrid, for their place in the knockout stages. Meanwhile, Atlético secured a spot in the Copa del Rey semi-finals with an emphatic 5-0 win over Getafe and will aim to keep their momentum going in LaLiga following their 2-0 victory over Mallorca last Saturday at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano.
In the league, Carlo Ancelotti’s team approach this fixture following a 1-0 defeat against Espanyol at the RCDE Stadium and a 3-0 victory at Valladolid. With the gap between the two sides having reduced to just one point, the Madrid derby promises to be a titanic battle for three crucial points in the title race.
