Atletico started the season well in general, but Diego Simeone’s team makes mistakes more often than last season. In the Spanish championship, the mattress are on the fifth line in the table with 11 points, being three points behind the leader in the person of Real Sociedad, but the capital club played two matches less. It makes sense to note also the fact that Atletico is not the only team of Primera, which has not yet lost. Real Madrid, Barcelona, ??Sevilla have already experienced the bitterness of defeat. In addition, the “mattress” do not change their defensive style. Their defense is the best in the championship with one goal conceded in five matches. However, in the Champions League this model did not take root, at least in the fight with Bayern. In Munich Atletico were smashed by the current trophy holder, conceding four goals from it.
The Royal Club are going to Borussia Park after a rather unexpected defeat at their home arena in the first round of the Champions League group stage from Shakhtar Donetsk. The underestimation of the opponent, together with problems in defense, led to the fact that after the first half the Spaniards were burning with the score 0:3. In the second half, they managed to win two goals, but Real was not enough for more. They did not draw any problems from this defeat, but the conclusions were drawn. The creamy ones were rehabilitated in the eyes of the fans with a confident victory in the last round. Examples over the eternal rival Barcelona, ??which they beat with a score 3:1. Moreover, they did it at the Camp Nou. According to the publication of “Marca”, the leadership of “Real” gave Zinedine Zidane two fights to correct the situation in the club, otherwise the Frenchman could lose his job. The creamy won against Barcelona and now they have an equally important match with Borussia ahead. Recall that the Madrid team played poorly in the last matches. Before losing to Shakhtar, they also lost in the league to Cadiz (0:1) at home. Real Madrid have the following personnel losses: Alvaro Odriosola, Daniel Carvajal, Martin Edegor, Nacho will not play due to injuries. There is information that Eden Hazard has recovered. Questionable is the presence of Mariano Diaz.
