Real to Edge Tight Madrid Derby

Atleti warmed up for this huge Madrid derby in the worst possible way, losing at Getafe in the league. Diego Simeone’s men are now a point behind Barcelona and Real Madrid in the fight for the league title.

Real were the big winners last weekend, as they gained three points on their title rivals. Atleti lost while Barca’s game was postponed, and Los Blancos picked up a hard-fought home win over Rayo Vallecano.

Los Colchoneros have lost two on the trot and picked up just one win in four league and cup fixtures. Merengues have won five of their past six across all competitions and have been beaten just once since early February.

Carlo Ancelotti’s troops have a slight edge after winning the home leg, but the tie is delicately poised. Real will back themselves to hold on, but Atleti could be a tough nut to crack in the Metropolitano.

Rodrygo gave Real an early lead in the first leg of this Champions League tie, though Alvarez levelled before the break. Brahim Diaz hit the winner ten minutes into the second period.
