Atlético de Madrid must recover as soon as possible from the last setback they suffered in LaLiga. Simeone's men have very important matches in the coming weeks that will determine the future of the season in LaLiga. After Celta, Real Madrid will arrive, who have a big advantage over Atlético de Madrid for this duel.
Real Madrid will have a key advantage over Atlético de Madrid
Atletico Madrid will face Real Madrid in LaLiga matchday eight at the Metropolitano stadium. Simeone's men must emerge victorious from the match if they want to continue in the fight for LaLiga, as FC Barcelona are moving away . However, LaLiga has given a key advantage to Real Madrid , which will help them prepare better for the match.
Atletico Madrid 's complaints to Javier Tebas have been of no use, and Real Madrid have completed their matchday seven fixture with 48 hours' notice. Atletico Madrid, managed by Simeone , will face Celta on Thursday, having two days less rest against Real Madrid . The worst of all is that Simeone will only have two days to prepare for the match against the white team.
In addition, Simeone 's men will have to travel to Vigo three days before the match against Real Madrid , which will greatly affect their post-match rest. Real Madrid faced Alavés at the Santiago Bernabéu on Tuesday afternoon, so they did not have to travel . Atlético de Madrid will try to win the derby, but Javier Tebas , and LaLiga , have decided to give Real Madrid a big advantage.
Controversy in the Real Madrid - Alavés match, with Vinicius Junior as the protagonist
Having played their match 48 hours before Atlético de Madrid , Real Madrid have been spared from any setbacks. The Whites could have suffered two casualties for Sunday's match at the Metropolitano , but the refereeing committee decided against it. The protagonists of these events have been Vinicius and Endrick , two of Real Madrid 's best players.
Firstly, Endrick has carried out an attack without the ball on Santiago Mouriño , former Atlético de Madrid player. The Real Madrid player has kneed the Alavés player in the private parts, being an action worthy of a red card. However, the referee has not been notified by the VAR to go and review this play.
Finally, the star of many of Real Madrid's matches, Vinicius Junior, has once again left us with some embarrassing images. The Brazilian, after being substituted just as the fourth official was showing the second half's added time, burst out laughing in his face with a brutal lack of respect. Vinicius Junior deserved the second yellow card, which would have kept him out of next Sunday's derby against Atlético de Madrid.
