Real Madrid and Atletico de Madrid face each other in what’s expected to be a season-defining Madrid Derby now that both teams are contending for the 2024-25 La Liga title. Barcelona are also in the mix, but whoever manage to win the three points tonight could separate themselves in the standings.

Los Blancos need to start proving that they can perform at a high level against quality opposition, as that has been their main weakness so far this season. Atletico are a formidable challenger and Madrid have lost momentum after their shaky matches against Espanyol and Leganes, so it will be interesting to see how Ancelotti’s men perform both tonight and also next Tuesday against Manchester City.
