We go over everything you need to know for Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid on Matchday 6.

I’m taking the draw in this one as it’ll be a tight affair from whistle to whistle. As for the Madrid derby itself, it’s expected to be a tight match with conservative play from both sides. They split the results last year, with Real Madrid grabbing a 2-0 win in their first meeting of the 2021-22 campaign. Real Madrid sit on top of the table with a perfect 5-0-0 record and 15 points while Atletico are down in seventh place with 10 points, coming off a 4-1 win over Celta Vigo in Matchday 5. [Champions League](https://www.sbnation.com/champions-league) play, and they’ll need to focus on their fierce rivals this weekend if they want to bounce back from the shock result. Atletico are expected to absorb those counter attacks by keeping numbers back to protect their net, especially against a highly potent attack with the likes of Vinicius Jr.

The Real Madrid midfielder takes a tumble after that and is kicked by the Atletico skipper that does not go down well. The first Madrid Derby of the 2022/23 season arrives at a crucial moment in the campaign. That was in Matchday 35 last term, when Carlo Ancelotti’s men had already lifted the trophy but lost 1-0 to a Yannick Carrasco penalty at the Cívitas Metropolitano. It was too easy for the Atletico man. But both the players had stopped their run and the ball runs out for a goalkick. Real Madrid finding it difficult to break Atletico’s compact defence.

Real Madrid saw off crosstown rivals Atletico 2-1 in a fiery edition of the city's local derby to restore their two-point lead over Barcelona in LaLiga.

[Mario Hermoso](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/222529/Mario-Hermoso) pulled a goal back for the hosts late on but they were unable to find an equaliser. A player who can play in different positions, who has something special in their technique, their physique, who stands out. "We've lost the derby, we've lost a very important game. "It leaves a bad taste," Oblak said after the match. "Karim is fundamental for us, but we have a spectacular squad. Atleti are seventh, eight points behind their neighbours.

Goals from Rodrygo and Federico Valverde put Real Madrid ahead early, and a goal from Atletico's Mario Hermoso followed by a red card eight minutes later didn't ...

In the second half we didn't have as much of the ball to hurt them. In the end we suffered, we controlled the game but at the end we suffered. We've lost the derby, we've lost a very important game. But I think we were always in the game." When Rodrygo scored, Vinicius was first across to join him in what felt like a very deliberate dance on the touchline, and he was then the catalyst for Real Madrid's second goal with a trademark run down the left. They have players who are good on the ball and they also work defensively. In the second half we lost the idea to hurt them. Playing alongside Joao Felix in attack, it was Griezmann who was arguably Atletico's liveliest player in the first half, often dropping deep to get involved in play. Amid all the noise of a frantic Madrid derby, those two moments of quality made the difference. Just don't be surprised to see him back on the bench next time.
