Match preview

In the 23rd round of the Spanish La Liga, the key match will take place between the main title contenders — Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. The game will be played at the "Santiago Bernabéu" stadium.

Carlo Ancelotti's team has just bounced back from a defeat in El Clásico against Barcelona and has regained form. However, the participation of their main striker, Kylian Mbappé, is still uncertain. This could impact Real's attacking strength.
