Latest Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid football review
Real Madrid's season may not have really kicked into gear, but Carlo Ancelotti's side are still top of La Liga, in the Copa del Rey semi-finals and preparing for a Champions League play-off against Manchester City.
Their place in the Copa del Rey semi-finals was secured after a 3-2 win over Leganes, with Gonzalo Garcia's first-half goal giving them a late winner. Real Madrid are also preparing to travel to Manchester City for the first leg of their Champions League play-off at the Etihad Stadium.
However, Los Blancos cannot afford to lose sight of La Liga. They just suffered a shock 0-1 loss to Espanyol and are now just 1 point ahead of Atletico Madrid (ranked 2nd) in the standings.
The title race is very exciting with only 4 points separating Barcelona (in third place) and Real Madrid (in the lead). Los Blancos also suffered a heavy defeat at home to their title rivals, losing 0-4 to Barcelona in October.
The last two league meetings between Real Madrid and Atletico have both ended 1-1. This was also the case in September’s Wanda Metropolitano clash, as well as last season’s clash at the Bernabeu.
Not many people see Atletico as a real contender for the La Liga title this season. However, they are having an excellent season, reaching the Champions League knockout stages and the Copa del Rey semi-finals.
Simeone's side just crushed Getafe 5-0 to book their place in the Copa del Rey semi-finals, while they beat Mallorca 2-0 last weekend to have 48 points in La Liga (record: 14 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses after 22 matches).
Atletico have picked up 18 points away from home this season, but they will be facing a Real Madrid side that have won nine of their 10 games at the Bernabeu in 2024-25.
The red-and-whites have won La Liga 11 times (most recently in 2020-21). This is the kind of game they cannot afford to lose if they want to be considered title contenders.
Atletico are unbeaten in their last four league games against Real Madrid and have lost just one of their last six. However, Simeone's side have not won away to Real Madrid at the Bernabeu since February 2016.
