Real Madrid v Atletico Madrid is bigger than ever — and at times it has been toxic – The Athletic
This is an updated version of a piece first published in March.
“Proper rival wanted for a worthy derby,” read a banner held by Real Madrid fans before their team hosted Atletico Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu in November 2011.
At the time, Atletico had gone more than 13 years and 25 matches without any ‘derbi’ win against their richer and historically more powerful neighbours from across Spain’s capital city.
The visitors went 1-0 up that day, but their on-loan Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was soon sent off, and Madrid’s 4-1 victory made it more than 5,000 minutes of action filled with resounding disappointments for one side and predictably amusing victories for the other.
Atletico Madrid vs. Real Madrid time, where to watch La Liga soccer
Real Madrid will face a major test on Saturday, Sept, 27, when the La Liga powerhouse visits city rival Atlético Madrid for the next chapter in one of Europe's biggest rivalries.
While Real Madrid's long-running battle with Barcelona is a global phenomenon, the derby between Madrid's two biggest clubs deserves serious respect. Real — under new head coach Xabi Alonso — has started the season off perfectly, winning all six of its Spanish league matches and claiming a 2-1 victory over Marseille in the UEFA Champions League.
Superstar Kylian Mbappé is leading La Liga with seven goals, while Real has conceded just four goals across their seven competitive games (posting three shutouts). The early success has Real sitting pretty atop the table after six rounds of games.

Real Madrid Predicted Lineup vs. Atletico Madrid: Alonso Faces Biggest Test Yet
Real Madrid make the short trip to the Metropolitano this weekend to take on an underperforming Atlético Madrid side.
Xabi Alonso has thrived under the weight of managing Real Madrid so far in 2025–26. The Spaniard has taken his former club to the top of the La Liga standings thanks to Los Blancos’ perfect start this season.
Although the new boss has already led Real Madrid to six impressive victories in the Spanish top-flight, he is now in for a much bigger test against Atlético. The Spanish giants have struggled in recent years against Los Colchoneros, collecting just one win in their last seven La Liga clashes with their rivals.
