Madrid Derby in Champions League: A Classic with a Taste of Revenge
The Madrid derby returns to the Champions League! Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid will face each other in the round of 16, a match that promises to be exciting and full of history. The Rojiblancos will be seeking revenge after the painful defeats in the finals of Lisbon and Milan.
This clash, which hasn’t happened since 2017, generates great expectation among the Colchoneros fans. Miguel Ángel Moyá, former Atleti goalkeeper, shared his vision on this crucial match. He acknowledged the difficulty of the encounter but highlighted the importance of playing the second leg at the Metropolitano.
While he sees Real Madrid with a slight advantage, Moyá trusts in Atlético’s grit and fighting spirit to overcome this challenge. “If I became Maldini for a moment, I would put Real Madrid 55-45 Atlético,” Moyá commented, making it clear that the tie is open and that Atleti has serious options to advance to the quarter-finals. The Rojiblancos fans dream of a victory that allows them to continue advancing in the competition and demonstrate, once again, the greatness of this club.
