For Atletico’s Trippier, a goalless Madrid draw ultimately had it all

Alexis Nunes and Julien Laurens break down Real Madrid’s 0-0 draw with derby rivals Atletico Madrid, including an underwhelming effort from Eden Hazard.

Madrid derby’s big storylines: Atletico’s big spending gives them an edge over ‘new’ Real

After losing 3-0 to PSG in Champions League, Craig Burley says Zinedine Zidane needs to do something to right the ship.

The first Madrid derby of the 2019-20 La Liga season has a lot riding on it because both sides of the Spanish capital want nothing more than to usurp Barcelona. But only one can.

If you drive west around Madrid, the city’s very own wacky racetrack, the M30, still takes you underneath the main stand at the stadium that was Atletico Madrid’s home for fifty years. The rest of it, though, has almost gone. Walls have been torn down, cables ripped out, a digger standing on the rubble of the old place where the pitch used to be.
