Inter-city rivals Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid will lock horns once again at the Metropolitano Stadium in a highly anticipated second-leg showdown.

Atletico Madrid’s Hopes Rest on Alvarez
If Atletico Madrid are to stage a comeback, much will depend on the form of Julian Alvarez. The Argentine forward has been in stellar form, netting six times in his last five Champions League outings. His goal in the first leg kept Atletico in the tie, and Diego Simeone will count on him and Antoine Griezmann to spearhead the attack.
Atletico’s defense will have to be at its best to contain Madrid’s attacking power. Players like Jose Gimenez and Robin Le Normand will need to stand firm against the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior.
Real Madrid’s Discipline Will Be Key
Real Madrid may have an advantage, but they cannot afford to be complacent. Despite their 2-1 first-leg victory, conceding an away goal means Atletico are still very much in contention. The key for Los Blancos will be discipline—both in defense and in maintaining control of the match.
The likes of Jude Bellingham, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Federico Valverde will need to keep the midfield compact and prevent Atletico from gaining momentum. With Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior, and Mbappe leading the attack, Real will look to strike early and put the game beyond Atletico’s reach.
Atletico Madrid Team News
Atletico will be without Koke, who is sidelined with a muscle injury. Meanwhile, Rodrigo De Paul and Clement Lenglet remain questionable.
Predicted XI (4-4-2):
- Goalkeeper: Jan Oblak
- Defenders: Marcos Llorente, Jose Gimenez, Robin Le Normand, Javi Galan
- Midfielders: Giuliano Simeone, Rodrigo De Paul, Pablo Barrios, Samuel Lino
- Forwards: Antoine Griezmann, Julian Alvarez
Real Madrid Team News
Real Madrid will miss several key players due to injuries, including Dani Carvajal, Dani Ceballos, Eder Militao, and Jesus Vallejo. However, Lucas Vazquez is set to return to the starting XI.
Predicted XI (4-3-3):
- Goalkeeper: Thibaut Courtois
- Defenders: Lucas Vazquez, Antonio Rudiger, Eduardo Camavinga, Ferland Mendy
- Midfielders: Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni, Jude Bellingham
- Forwards: Rodrygo, Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior
Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid Prediction
Expect a fierce battle at the Metropolitano. Atletico Madrid will come out aggressively, knowing they need to score early. However, Real Madrid’s counter-attacking threat, especially with Mbappe and Vinicius, could prove decisive.
Mbappe has been in top form, scoring six goals in his last six Champions League games. His explosive speed will be a nightmare for Atletico’s defenders, and another strong performance from the Frenchman could send Los Blancos into the next round.
Prediction: Real Madrid to edge a close contest, possibly 2-2 on the night but progressing on aggregate.
Betting Tip: Kylian Mbappe to score anytime
