In their crucial La Liga derby at home against longtime rivals Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid is already living the dream.
In an effort to forget their 2-1 home setback to them last season, Los Rojiblancos are facing their old foes from across the Spanish capital.
At the Estadio Metropolitano in 202/23, Diego Simeone's hosts were defeated 2-1, despite going unbeaten in their previous three league meetings with Real Madrid.
Atletico have gotten off to a fast start in the 2023–24 La Liga season, despite the strain of trying to halt Real Madrid's five-game winning streak.
Alvaro Morata of Spain struck a fantastic header from Samuel Lino's cross to give Simeone's squad a lead in the fourth minute.
