2-1 winner in Bernabéu, last Tuesday, Real Madrid has a slight advantage over Atlético at the half-time of the champions League before the return scheduled on Wednesday at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, Wednesday (9 p.m., live on Canal+). The men of Carlo Ancelotti rather prepared the second match against the Colchoneros since they beat the Rayo Vallecano on Sunday (2-1), with goals from Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius, taking advantage of 2nd place in the Liga classification to Antoine Griezmann and his teammates.
Wednesday, the derby of the Spanish capital will be arbitrated by Szymon Marciniak. The Polish referee is not only the one who officiated during the final of the 2022 World Cup lost by the French team against Argentina on penalties, despite the hat -trick of Kylian Mbappé. The three -color supporters had copiously pointed out the arbitration of Mr. Marciniak. In addition to the penalty given to Lionel Messi for a fault of Ousmane Dembélé on Angel Di Maria, it was lax with the Argentinian players who had talked about.
Mbappé-Marciniak, the second act
This season, Szymon Marciniak has already refereed the two clubs in Madrid in LDC this season. First the victory torn off by Atlético at the Parc des Princes against PSG (1-2), on November 6, then the success of Real Madrid on the Atalanta field (2-3), on December 10. Mbappé, who had opened the scoring against the bergamasques, had asked to go out due to pain in the hamstring muscles, after half an hour of play.
The captain of the French team then missed a championship meeting (against the Rayo), in order to prepare the intercontinental cup against Pachuca. A few days of rest which then allowed him to continue his crazy series of goals. Mbappé is now at 29 achievements in 42 matches all competitions confused this season with the Merengues.
