The Madrid Derby: A Passionate Encounter
Atlético de Madrid will face Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium in a match that will decide the leadership, although there are still 15 rounds to be played.
The precedents of the derby mark a trend towards a draw, since the Atlético’s 3-1 victory at the Metropolitano with goals from Morata and Griezmann, the matches between the two teams have ended with a draw in the 90 minutes.
In the Spanish Super Cup semifinals in Arabia, the match ended 3-3 in the 90 minutes, but Real Madrid won in extra time. In the Copa del Rey round of 16, the match at the Metropolitano ended 2-2, and Atlético won in extra time.
The next two matches ended with a 1-1 score, with goals from Brahim and Marcos Llorente in the previous campaign, and from Militao and Correa in the current season. Now, a new edition of the derby arrives, which comes very hot after Real Madrid’s statement following their defeat against Espanyol. We will see if the draw is repeated or if one of the two teams imposes itself.
