It should be noted that Carlo Ancelotti's team will not be able to count on Karim Benzema, Real Madrid's top scorer, due to an injury. However, they have other stars who are also in their best moments, such as Vinicius Junior, Federico Valverde, and Rodrygo. The Madrid coach knows that he cannot be complacent and showed respect for his counterpart Diego Simeone in the preview.
"If Atlético has been fighting for everything in Spain for a long time, it is thanks to Simeone's work. The connection between Simeone, the players, and the club is a large part of the success. It is a very close relationship. He is capable of building a very strong bond with the players, who give their all for the club and their coach. Although some may think otherwise, this is an important part," Ancelotti said in a press conference.
On the other hand, Atlético Madrid comes into this match with irregularities in their start in the Spanish league and arrives after losing to Bayer Leverkusen. A good piece of news for the "colchoneros" is that Jan Oblak is ready to play.
