Last season Atletico failed to retain the title, which they eventually handed over to today’s opponent. However, Madrid eventually managed to reach the third final place, which gave them a chance to prove themselves in the Champions League group stage. Over the summer, the team managed to maintain, while we can note the move from Italy of the defender Molina for 20 million euros and Samuel Lino from Gil Vicente (6.5 million). By the way, the start of the group round for the “Indians” was successful, ending in a victory over Porto (2:1). But already the second stage unexpectedly ended with a defeat from Bayer. In the La Liga championship, Diego Simeone’s wards recorded three wins and a draw in five rounds, which correspond to 10 points and seventh position in the table. Traditionally, the defense played attentively, which conceded less than one ball on average, while in the last game the “mattress” defeated Celta (4:1). Oblak, Lemar, Savic, Reguilon and Jimenez, who has a back injury, will not be able to play today.
Last season Real Madrid won the Spanish Championship and the Super Cup of the country, which the team deserved not only for the results, but also for the content. It is noteworthy that 26 wins and 80 goals scored were enough for the capital club to succeed in La Liga. By the way, it is worth noting that the team did not feel the traditional resistance from the main competitor. It is impossible not to recall the main success of the team. The Galacticos confidently made their way through all the stages of the Champions League group stage, after which they beat Liverpool in the final. This title has already become the 14th in the history of the champion of Spain. Of the newcomers, we note the arrival of Orellana Chameni. The capital paid 80 million euros for the Monaco midfielder. The start of the new group stage of the main club tournament in Europe passed without losses, following the success in Glasgow, where the “creamy” defeated Celtic (3: 0). The Spanish grandees easily dealt with RB Leipzig (2: 0) at home. The first matches of the new La Liga championship were held in one breath, ending in five wins out of five possible, which ultimately corresponds to 15 points and the first position. It should be noted that the team differed 15 times. In the last round the Whites beat Mallorca (4:1). Today Benzema and Lucas, who has a groin injury, will not be able to play.
