Real Madrid are on a winning streak since the start of the season, with significant changes under the leadership of Xabi Alonso.

The big change has been in the scoring department. Last season, Real Madrid scored 58% of their goals in the second half, but this season, 57% of their goals have come before halftime.

Now, the revolution with Alonso will be tested in the Madrid derby, against the always fierce Atletico.

The match at the Metropolitano will more or less give a look at the ability of both opponents to compete for the 2025/26 La Liga title.

Expected lineup:

Atletico (4-4-2): Oblak; Llorente, Le Normand, Lenglet, Hancko; Giuliano, Barrios, Koke, Nico Gonzalez; Raspadori, Julian Alvarez.

Real Madrid (4-3-3): Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Huijsen, Carreras; Guler, Tchouameni, Valverde; Mastantuono, Mbappe, Vinicius.

Match information

- Atletico are unbeaten in their last five La Liga games against Real Madrid (W1 D4) and could equal their longest unbeaten run against Los Blancos in the competition – achieved in February 2016, also under Diego Simeone (6 games: W4 D2).

- Real Madrid have lost two of their last four away La Liga games against Atletico (W1 D1), having suffered just one defeat in their previous 20 away games against “Los Rojiblancos” in the competition (W12 D7).

- Real Madrid have drawn their last three derbies against Atletico in La Liga. Only twice have they recorded four consecutive draws against the same opponent in the history of the competition: Athletic Bilbao (1951-1952) and also against Atletico (2017-2018).

- Atletico have lost just one of their last 22 home games in La Liga (W16 D5), and have scored at least once in each of their last 20 (45 goals in total, 2.25 per game) – their longest home scoring streak in the competition since January 2023 to March 2024 (25 games).

- Real Madrid started the La Liga season with 6 wins in the first 6 matches for the 6th time in the history of the tournament (1958/59, 1961/62, 1968/69, 1987/88, 2022/23 and 2025/26). “Los Blancos” won their first 7 matches in a single season in 1987/88 under the leadership of Leo Beenhakker.

- Alexander Sorloth has scored four goals in eight La Liga games against Real Madrid, all in a single match: against Villarreal in May 2024, becoming one of only two players to score four goals in a La Liga game against “Los Blancos” in the 21st century, after Valentin Castellanos against Girona in April 2023.

- Vinicius has failed to score in 11 La Liga games against Atletico (14 shots, 7 on target), the opposition he has played the most games without finding the net against in the competition.

- Diego Simeone will equal Real Madrid's Miguel Munoz (28 games: 13 wins, 8 draws, 7 losses) as the coach who has participated in the most Madrid derbies (only counting the Atletico vs Real derby) in the history of the tournament. In the previous 27 games, he won 6, drew 12, lost 9.

- Xabi Alonso has won all six of his La Liga games in charge of Real Madrid, and could equal the best start in terms of wins by a “Los Blancos” coach in the history of the competition: Vanderlei Luxemburgo, who won his first seven games in January 2005.
