Atletico de Madrid v RCD Espanyol – LaLiga EA Sports, Spain – 28 Aug 2024
The ‘Derbi Madrileño’ (Madrid Derby) between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid is the standout
fixture of Matchday 8 in the 2024-25 La Liga season – with the two capital city heavyweights set to
put on a thrilling show on Sunday night.
Atletico and Real will clash at the Metropolitano Stadium, with the teams not only looking to
capture local bragging rights, but also boost their hopes of winning the league title by taking three
points off one of their main rivals.
The ‘Rojiblancos’ claimed two home wins over ‘Los Blancos’ last season – one in La Liga, the
other in the Copa del Rey – and manager Diego Simeone knows that his team has what it takes to
fell the reigning champions.
“Those wins showed that at home we can overcome even a team with the strength and character
of Real Madrid,” noted the Argentine. “These matches are always very special… a great battle, with
our fans fully behind us. We expect another match in which we will have to produce our very best
to get the result we want.”
Sunday – aside from the Madrid derby – also features Athletic Bilbao hosting Sevilla, Girona
visiting Celta Vigo and Real Betis welcoming Espanyol to the Benito Villamarin Stadium, while the
round closes out on Monday night with ‘The Yellow Submarine’ Villarreal hosting Las Palmas at the
Ceramica Stadium.
