The final Madrid derby at the Vincente Calderon takes place this weekend, when Real make the short trip across the city to face rivals Atletico. The hosts move into the newly renovated Estadio La Peineta next year.
This will be the first meeting between the two sides since the Champions League final earlier this year and Diego Simeone will be eyeing revenge, after his team lost on penalties in May.
Real Madrid sit top of La Liga, six points clear of their rivals.
Team News
Antoine Griezmann suffered a foot injury in France’s 2-1 win over Sweden in the international break and is unlikely to feature.
