In the UEFA Super Cup before the start of this season, Atletico Madrid caused a lot of problems for Real Madrid, almost beating Real Madrid.

Unlike Real Madrid, Atletico are now in third place in La Liga, five points clear of fourth place, and it will not be difficult to get a ticket to the Champions League.

They are under no pressure to win La Liga and can focus all their energy on the Copa del Rey final.

But Real Madrid is different, Barcelona is only in second place with a one-point disadvantage, and Real Madrid does not dare to relax at the top of the table.

In addition, Real Madrid have a Champions League final to play, which will definitely distract them.

Real Madrid's only advantage is to sit on the home field! ”
