Real Madrid and Atlético are drawing this Sunday. In the first league derby, the rojiblancos won the Metropolitano with a resounding 5-2. In the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup it was the whites who won 1-2. Arbeloa’s men arrive with the need to win the match to avoid losing the lead of Barça, who beat Rayo 1-0 this Sunday and are seven points ahead. Simeone’s men, for their part, want the three points to secure their Champions League place for the following season and face the end of the season in a good dynamic where they have a Champions League quarterfinal tie against Barcelona and the Copa del Rey final against Real Sociedad.
