Prediction: 2-1
Atletico Madrid
There will be fireworks when Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid square off against each other in the Spanish Super Cup semis. Los Blancos faced no difficulties in the Copa del Rey win over Arandina and you should know that they are after their sixth consecutive win in all competitions. All Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior, Fede Valverde, Jude Bellingham, and Antonio Rudiger return to the starting XI after they were rested in the Spanish Cup triumph, while all David Alaba, Eder Militao, and Ferland Mendy remain in the recovery room. Eduardo Camavinga is a major doubt.
Los Rojiblancos, on the other hand, defeated Lugo 3-1 in the Copa del Rey last 32 and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Given Atletico’s attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Reinildo Mandava is on international duty, while Alvaro Morata returns to the starting XI after he was rested in the Copa del Rey victory.
Highlighted Player (Antoine Griezmann):
Anthony Griezmann is a French forward born on 21st March 1991 in Macon, and he is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most exciting footballers at the moment. The pacey striker started showing his potential shortly after coming through Real Sociedad’s youth academy and he went on to score 46 goals in 179 league appearances for La Real. Excellent displays in Spanish la Liga saw him become a target for a number of top clubs, but he eventually choose to sign for Atletico Madrid, and that proved to be a very good decision.
Griezmann continued the rich vein of form at Vicente Calderon, scoring some important goals as los Colchoneros enjoyed domestic and European success, while also becoming a key member of the France national team.
Playing as a winger or second striker, Griezmann possesses impressive technical skills, he is a strong finisher and still finds time to work hard for his side, so no wonder he is widely regarded as one of the leading forwards on the continent. He won the U19 European Championship with France and is tipped to lead Les Bleus to glory on senior level as well.
Highlighted Team (Real Madrid):
Real Madrid is a Spanish football club based in Madrid. Real Madrid participate in La Liga (Primera Division) and they have won 32 domestic titles. On the other hand, los Blancos have won 13 European Cup titles and that is the main reason why they are considered the biggest football club in the world.
Real Madrid play their home matches at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu and the capacity of the stadium is 84,454. Cristiano Ronaldo is the club’s most successful footballer in the 21st century and the Portuguese superstar has won two Golden Ball awards.
The likes of Alfredo Di Stefano, Zinedine Zidane, Raul Gonzalez Blanco, David Beckham and Iker Casillas are star players who were part of the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu outfit in the past. Real Madrid’s bitterest rivals are Barcelona, but the rivalry between local rivals Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid is big as well. Real Madrid’s home kit is white and, as a result, the team’s nickname is los Blancos (the Whites).
