With a trip to the Spanish Super Cup final against Barcelona on the line, Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid are set to clash for the 242nd time in history at the King Abdullah Sports City, Jeddah.
The Madrid neighbors are taking their heated rivalry to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia just four months after the first Madrid derby of the season stole headlines across Spain. Diego Simeone led his side to a dominant 5–2 victory over Real Madrid back in September, leaving the 15-time European champions battered and humiliated at the Metropolitano.
Los Blancos will no doubt have redemption on the mind come Thursday’s match, especially with pressure mounting on both Xabi Alonso and his men. A failure in the Spanish Super Cup could cost the Spaniard his place on the touchline, and his team even more embarrassment given their recent struggles.
Atlético Madrid, meanwhile, would love nothing more than to make it two victories in a row against their bitter rivals to punch their ticket to the Spanish Super Cup final. Los Colchoneros have only ever hoisted the trophy twice, and their last win came back in 2014.
