Real Madrid got its 35th. star last Saturday with the rout of Espanyol de Barcelona (4-0) and custom indicates that Atlético, his next rival, should receive him on the field with a channel made up of his own players.
However, the “mattress” club ruled out that practice in an institutional notice, which was ratified today by its DT Simeone: “You always try to generate a bit of controversy – he introduced when consulted -. The reality is that the club made a statement very concrete, explanatory perfect”.
“First of all, congratulate Real Madrid, its players and coaching staff, who have done an impressive job throughout the season. Great respect for Real Madrid, but it is clear that we have much more respect for our people, who are the one who is with us every day”, explained “Cholo”.
The Atlético coach took the drama out of the matter and gave Argentine soccer as an example, where there is no such gesture of recognition for the champions.
Real Madrid had a perfect week with the crowning of the local tournament and qualification for the Champions League final with its epic victory against Manchester City of England in extra time.
In LaLiga, the “Meregue” has 81 points, followed by Barcelona with 66, Seville with 64 and Atlético with 61, which occupies the fourth and last place for access to the Champions League next season.
“We are at a decisive moment, we have four finals left in that ‘League of 14’ that we set out to do,” Simeone remarked, regarding the fight to enter the highest club tournament in Europe.
Atlético is mainly threatened by the two rivals that succeed it and currently occupy Europa League places: Betis (58) and Real Sociedad (56).
After accumulating two games without a win and losing to Athletic Bilbao last date, they will seek to return to victory and then secure their place in the Champions League zone against Elche (V), Sevilla (L) and Real Sociedad (V).
Real Madrid, already focused on the grand final with Liverpool, on Saturday May 28 in Paris, faces the derby with six casualties: the Austrian David Alaba, the Brazilian Marcelo, the Belgian Eden Hazard, the Welshman Gareth Bale, Dani Ceballos and Isco .
Atlético have not won the derby since the 2018 European Super Cup in Tallinn with a 4-2 victory after extra time. In the Spanish championship, he has had twelve consecutive games without success against the white team.
On the occasion of this match, LaLiga organized a gastronomic proposal that will be in force all weekend at the El Burladero (Uriburu 1488) and Fervor (Posada 1519) restaurants, where a traditional tapas called “The flavor of the derby” will be offered at 4,000 pesos per covered. Customers who consume it will enter a raffle for jerseys of both teams and official Spanish soccer balls.
