Second in the Spanish championship, four points behind Barça, the
Real
cannot afford to lose ground in the title race. Carlo Ancelotti’s men must absolutely continue their series of successes so as not to be let down by a Catalan rival who is having a perfect start to the season on the national scene.
In this context, the derby against the other enemy, Atlético, takes on a very special flavor this Sunday evening (9 p.m.). These Madrid shocks are often indecisive. Eye-catching and calculating, Diego Simeone’s Colchoneros still have the ingredients to shake up Real in search of balance. A derby which will obviously be marked by the absence of Kylian Mbappé.
The expected compositions
Atletico Madrid : Oblak – Le Normand, Gimenez, Reinildo – Llorente, De Paul, Koke, Gallagher, Lino – Alvarez, Griezmann.
real Madrid : Courtois – Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Mendy – Valverde, Tchouameni, Modric – Bellingham – Rodrygo, Vinicius.
