Prediction: 1-1
Atletico Madrid
Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid face each other at A. Le Coq Arena in Tallinn in the European Super Cup. Los Blancos did well to win their third consecutive Champions League trophy last term, but, no doubt, they are hungry for more success. Zinedine Zidane is no longer in charge of Real Madrid and it remains to be seen if new coach Julen Lopetegui is going to win his first ever trophy with the Spanish giants on Wednesday evening. Seeing that Cristiano Ronaldo joined Juventus earlier this summer, all eyes will be on Gareth Bale when Real Madrid face Atletico Madrid in Tallinn. Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone did well to reinforce the squad in the summer transfer window, but he is likely to stick to his defensive style of play against los Blancos. A low-scoring affair is on the horizon and we predict that the match will go into extra-time.
Highlighted Player (Sergio Ramos):
Over the years Sergio Ramos has established himself as one of the best defenders in the world. The Spanish footballer was born in Camas on 30 March, 1986 and he is a product of Sevilla’s youth academy. He made 39 league appearances for Sevilla and he played 26 games for the reserve team as well from 2003 to 2005.
In the summer of 2005 Sergio Ramos signed a deal with Real Madrid for a fee of €27 million and it has to be noted that he made 33 appearances for the capital club in the 2005/2006 La Liga campaign. The 183-cm-tall full back is capable of playing as a right back as well and, as a result, he often scores for Real Madrid.
Sergio Ramos helped Real Madrid win two Champions League trophies (2013/2014, 2015/2016) and he has three La Liga titles with los Blancos. The Spanish defender won the 2010 FIFA World Cup with la Furia Roja, while clinching Euro 2008 and 2010 titles with the Spanish national team as well.
Highlighted Team (Atletico Madrid):
Atletico Madrid are a Spanish team that plays in Primera Division (La Liga). Los Rojiblancos or los Colchoneros play their home matches at Estadio Vicente Calderon, which holds up to 54,960 spectators. Atletico Madrid have won 10 La Liga titles, but they have yet to lift the European Cup (Champions League) trophy.
Los Rojiblancos have won 10 Copa del Rey (Spanish Cup) trophies and it has to be noted that they defeated their bitter local rivals Real Madrid in the 2012/2013 Spanish Cup final. The rivalry between the two capital clubs is pretty big and El Madrileno is regarded as one of the most exciting derbies in the world football.
Atletico Madrid played two Champions League finals under Diego Simeone, but they failed to beat Real Madrid in the title games (2013/2014 and 2015/2016). However, the Argentine tactician helped Atletico Madrid win the La Liga trophy in 2014 and, no doubt, he is one of the most successful coaches in the history of the capital club.
