The Spanish League will have a momentous duel this Sunday between Atlético and Real Madrid, teams that play much more than the classic in the Spanish capital.
The team of
Diego Simeone,
leading with 58 points, will
look to
take a key step towards the title against Zinedine Zidane second five less
he wants to
snuggle.
And Barcelona, with the same number of units as the Merengues, is also waiting expectantly.
The classic will also have a special flavor for Simeone, who will try to cut a very bad streak against Real Madrid, which he has
not beaten for two years: 4-2 in the final of the 2018 Spanish Super Cup
, when the rival was led by Julen Lopetegui.
Simeone's arrival at Atlético cut off a long Real hegemony in the classics (he hadn't beaten him for 13 years) but since Zidane's arrival the numbers have once again leaned towards the white side.
In total there were 12 matches, with just two victories for the Colchonero.
Above, in the last seven games he could only score two goals, against 12 for Merengue, and he has two in a row without opening the scoring.
Cholo's general history as manager against Real Madrid is 33 games: he
won nine, drew 10 and lost 14.
Will he be able to cut the streak this Sunday?
