Atletico Madrid will be eager to make a significant statement in this season's La Liga title race when they face Los Blancos on Sunday. Their last league title triumph happened in the 2020/21 season, and while they are not widely tipped to finish above Real Madrid and Barcelona, a win this weekend could certainly change perceptions and bolster their title ambitions.
Despite a 1-1 draw against Rayo Vallecano last weekend, Atletico bounced back with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Celta Vigo on Thursday, thanks to a last-minute strike from Julian Alvarez. It marked their fourth win in five matches across all competitions, and they will take confidence from being the last team to defeat Real Madrid in La Liga - a 3-1 triumph at the Wanda Metropolitano in September 2023.
