Madrid Derby in the Champions League! An Epic Clash
Attention, Rojiblancos! The Champions League gives us a Madrid derby in the round of 16, a clash that promises strong emotions. Real Madrid and Atlético will face each other in a two-legged tie that will define the future of both in the competition.
This unusual clash in the Champions League adds a special ingredient to the rivalry. The latest precedent between the two, a one-all draw in La Liga, makes us predict a tight and hard-fought match. We remember that goal from Julián for Atleti, followed by Mpabbé’s equalizer.
The history in European competitions between these two teams is rich in memorable moments. From that distant semi-final clash in 1959, with the need for a tiebreaker, to the finals of 2014 and 2016, passing through the quarterfinals of 2014-15 and the semifinals of 2017, each match has been a battle.
The first leg will be played on Tuesday, March 4 at 9:00 p.m. at the Santiago Bernabéu. You can’t miss it! You can follow it through Movistar Liga de Campeones and, of course, on Radio MARCA and MARCA.com, with the best preview, the starting elevens, the chronicle, the statements and the summary with the best plays. Aúpa Atleti!
