An opportunity to create a more positive atmosphere before the game on Wednesday..
Preview
Everyone is aware that there is a huge game coming up on Tuesday, however, this game is not “unimportant”. Look at the table. Atleti is Real Madrid’s rival to beat to end in second place in La Liga. Not to mention this is the biggest rivalry in Madrid and a game Atleti has not been able to win since 1999.
Cristiano Ronaldo will not play as he has muscular problems that emerged before the game on Wednesday. He will be given rest and hopefully will be good to play on Tuesday. Sergio and Fabio have been given rest while Marcelo and Arbeloa are injured and will not play.
About the XI, the only player confirmed by Karanka is Diego Lopez. He named Diego the best player against Dortmund. In press conference Karanka said the best possible XI will jump on the pitch and this means Diego +10.
This is necessary
I know the hopes are not at its highest so the following is necessary….

Hala Madrid
Hi!
That was definitely cheering!! 🙂
I do believe that if we win tomorrow isA, it will give us a push. A loss would make things a LOT worse.
If you saw the pics of the training session … well they would use a push and against Atletio Madrid it would be sth.
So let me get this straight … Cristiano had problems before the Wednesday match, yet he played and scored?! MAJOR RESPECT
Emmmm, the last time Atleti beat Real Madrid I was 4 years old! Does that count?! 😛
‘The Wizard of Oz began its run on cable TV’
That is History!! 😀
HALAMADRID!!!
Until next time isA! 🙂
The last time atleti beat madrid twitter and facebook dosent exist…
Great one! :-). I hadn’t started supporting Real Madrid as yet, I started in 2001.. Haha! So.I haven’t seen Atleti def Real & hopefully will never see that! You could add one more point though,that the Twin towers of USA were still there & no one knew about Osama! (On a good note!) The world was a peaceful place! 🙂 Hala Madrid!
