NAME: Real Madrid – Atlético Madrid
DATE: 25 Feb 2023
TIME: 17:30 UTC
VENUE: Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid, Spain
The latest instalment of the Madrid derby will take place at Bernabeu on Saturday evening, with Real Madrid welcoming bitter rivals Atletico Madrid in Spain’s top flight.
The home side are currently second in the table, eight points behind division leaders Barcelona, while Atletico occupy fourth position, just four points ahead of fifth-placed Real Betis in the race for the top four.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side must keep winning and hope that Barcelona slip up, and the home team will enter this match off the back of five straight victories in all competitions, including successes over Al Ahly and Al-Hilal in Morocco earlier this month to win the 2022 Club World Cup.
Real Madrid have also won their last two in the league against Elche and Osasuna, scoring six times and conceding zero, while they recorded a standout victory in the Champions League on Tuesday night, beating Liverpool 5-2 in the first leg of their last-16 affair at Anfield.
Los Blancos were actually two goals behind to the Reds in the early stages but then went on to score five times without reply to place themselves in a strong position to reach the quarter-finals of the competition.
Ancelotti’s team will also have one eye on their Copa del Rey semi-final first leg with Barcelona on March 2, with the capital giants fighting for three major trophies in the closing months of the campaign.
Real Madrid – unbeaten at home in the league in 2022-23 – recorded a 2-1 victory over Atletico in the reverse game at Wanda Metropolitano earlier this season, while they were 2-0 winners when the two sides locked horns for the corresponding fixture last term.
Atletico have not beaten Real Madrid at Bernabeu in La Liga since 2016, which is an indication of the size of their task in this match, but Diego Simeone’s side will be the fresher of the two teams.
Indeed, the Red and Whites are not playing European football at the moment following their disappointing Champions League group-stage campaign, which saw them finish bottom of their section; Atletico were also knocked out of the Copa del Rey by Real Madrid in the quarter-finals at the end of January.
