The Madrid derby is beautifully poised after the first leg of what could be a raucous return at the Metropolitano tonight.
Brahim Diaz’s winner at the Bernabeu gave Real a narrow advantage but Atletico Madrid will be fired up for the return.
Kylian Mbappe has been included in the Real squad and could start alongside Jude Bellingham, Rodrigo and Vinicius Jr.
Atletico slipped behind their city rivals in the Spanish title race with a 2-1 defeat at Getafe at the weekend while Real beat Rayo Vallecano by the same score.
