Atlético-Real Madrid: The first derby of the season arrives
Mourinho's men aim for victory at the Metropolitano in the final match before the international break (4:15 pm CEST; Orange TV and Dazn).
Real Madrid face their second away match in LaLiga in just five days this afternoon, following their victory last Tuesday in Elche. It will also be a demanding test for Mourinho's side, who play the first derby of the season at the Metropolitano (4:15 pm CEST; Orange TV and Dazn) during this seventh matchday of the championship.
It will be the last game before the international break, and our team arrives at the encounter after securing five wins in LaLiga and another in their sole Champions League match so far. Strong numbers for Mourinho's team, who have scored 17 goals in the six domestic league matches played to date, averaging nearly three goals per game (2.83).
"Derbies are about history, football culture, and the passion of fans, players, and coaches," said Mourinho during the pre-match press conference. Our coach has called up all available players, meaning the injured Rodrygo, Militão, and Mendy will be unavailable. However, Mbappé, who has scored eight goals in seven matches, will be in the lineup.
Atlético
The red-and-white team, with a record of four wins, one draw, and one loss, comes into the match after a resounding victory over Osasuna (4-0) last Wednesday at the Metropolitano, where they remain unbeaten this season with two wins and one draw. Álex Baena is their top scorer in the league with four goals.
