La Liga : Atletico Madrid - Real Madrid Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid go head to head this weekend with both pride and second place in La Liga at stake for the victors.
Atletico have performed above all expectations this season and spent a large part of the campaign ahead of their city rivals in the league table.
Real were able to climb back into second position behind Barcelona but a win for the home side in this fixture would move them level on points.
History is not on Atletico's side as they have not beaten Real since 1999, have lost their last nine meetings and manager Diego Simeone has never tasted victory in the league since taking charge.
