Julián Álvarez scored twice as Atlético Madrid routed fierce rivals Real Madrid 5-2 in a thrilling Madrid derby on Saturday. Álvarez's performance served as sweet redemption after his controversial double-kick penalty contributed to Atlético losing to Madrid in last season's Champions League. The Argentina striker stole the show from Kylian Mbappé, who scored as Madrid went to a 2-1 lead.

Slovakian international defender David Hancko is prepared to face the might of city rivals Real Madrid for the first time this weekend. Hancko, 27, joined from Feyenoord over the summer and has slotted in at left-back under firebrand head coach Diego Simeone. 'El Cholo' is one of world football's most recognisable bosses, often seen parading up and down the touchline, berating match officials whilst sporting an unchanging all black suit.
