PREVIEW OF REAL MADRID VS ATLÉTICO
Real Madrid begins its countdown to the Champions League final against Liverpool by facing Atlético Madrid in a capital derby of the Spanish League.
Carlo Ancelotti's Madrid is mainly playing for pride on Sunday after securing the Spanish League title the previous matchday.
Madrid has four league matches remaining, and the veteran Italian coach must perform the delicate balancing act of keeping his squad in the best competitive form possible while avoiding injuries to his starting players in the period leading up to the Champions League final, to be played on May 28 in Paris.
When the league title was still at stake last weekend against Espanyol, Ancelotti opted for a lineup with several substitutes, such as rarely-used striker Mariano Diaz and defender Jesus Vallejo. Madrid had no problems in thrashing Espanyol 4-0 and extending a record by winning its 35th league title.
