Kick-off imminent
The opportunity to recall the evening’s compositions.
Atlético: Oblak – Molina, Gimenez, Le Normand, Reinildo – De Paul, Gallagher, Llorente – Griezmann, Sorloth, Alvarez.
Real Madrid: Courtois – Carvajal, Rüdiger, Militão, Mendy – Modric, Tchouaméni, Bellingham – Valverde, Rodrygo, Vinicius.
Atlético has the advantage in the last confrontations
In the last five derbies, Atlético have won two and Real only one (in addition to two draws). The advantage is therefore in favor of Diego Simeone’s men.
Vinicius not successful in the derby
The Brazilian has only scored one goal in 13 games against Atlético in his career, and none in the league. In the absence of Kylian Mbappé this evening, he will be expected to make the difference.
Controversy surrounding Atlético supporters
Some of them relayed on social networks the intention to come masked to the Metropolitano to be able to insult Vinicius without being identified. While the Brazilian is regularly the target of racist insults, the affair has caused noise in Spain and the stands will be monitored this evening.
Atlético fans are already hot
The Colchoneros bus was greeted with smoke bombs near the stadium.
