Between last season and the current season, Real Madrid’s only two defeats were against Atlético de Madrid at the Metropolitano, scene of a new derby which circulates between the pressure of the Barcelona management, the emotion, the tension extra-sporting, the 48 hours less controversy. local rest and the doubts that their respective beginnings still raise.
The current champion, now second, Real Madrid, lacks the usual authority and this Sunday without Kylian Mbappéabsent due to injury, visits a stronghold which was impregnable to them last season. Vinicius, Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham against Julián Alvarez, Antoine Griezmann and Samuel Lino or Ángel Correa. Thibaut Courtois against Jan Oblak.
Without Mbappé
Robin Le Normand, José María Giménez and Reinildo Mandava against Eder Militao, Antonio Rudiger and Ferland Mendy. Marcos Llorente vs. Dani Carvajal. Aurélien Tchouameni, Fede Valverde and Eduardo Camavinga or Luka Modric against Rodrigo de Paul, Koke Resurrección and Conor Gallagher. A great duel.
The pressure is there for both of us. The controversy too, because Atlético played its duel against the Celtic In Bélé and Real Madrid did it on Tuesday at home against Alavés. It is 48 hours of difference that the red and white team complain about, which returned early Thursday morning from Vigo, trained Friday afternoon and did it again this Saturday morning to prepare for the clash without break and almost without rest.
Controversial

The reception of the Brazilian striker, on and off the field, inevitably marks the preceding hours.
“It’s a super special derby, with a lot of rivalry, but above all with the maximum respect that must exist in a football match”, Koke Resurrección, the captain of Atlético, transmitted on Friday through the official media of the club, leading in a duel that Real Madrid has only won in one of its last five chapters.
Hunting evening in the Metropolitan. Good for Real Madrid, good for Atlético or both. In any case, the distance with Barcelona will be reduced after Barça’s defeat against Osasuna.
