This Sunday, the Atlético de Madrid visit the Santiago Bernabeu. In a derby that is special for all members of the Colchonero locker room, but there are some members who have a thorn in their side because of their past in the White House, and hope to get revenge in LaLiga.
The last to achieve it was Mario is beautiful. The Madrid centre-back scored 0-1 in the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup. A goal that came in the sixth minute after a corner taken by Griezmann that Colchonero’s ’22’ headed into the center of the area. It was his first goal against the whites, the second of the season as he had already scored in the Champions League against Feyenoord. In those semifinals they ended up getting eliminated 5-3.
A revenge he was able to achieve for the first time last season Alvaro Morata. The striker scored his first goal in a derby in Santiago Bernabeu. This is to open the scoring in the round of 16 of Copa del Rey. That 0-1 with a pass from Nahuel Molina caused the entire stadium to sing “Morata you’re a rat”, and the player celebrated by covering the first syllable of his last name. That time they were eliminated 3-1.
As this time has come along Griezmann in one of his severe blows. In the league match at Metropolitan He scored two goals with his head, in the Spanish Super Cup he did not score but he participated in the goal scored as an own goal Rudiger and in the Copa del Rey they made it 2-1 in the second half. Three goals in three games.
It’s been longer since he took his personal revenge Saul. Although it is true that in his case the same is happening to him as Neighborhoods because they were dismissed at a young age and both cadets went to Atlético de Madrid.
The man from Elche got his revenge for the first time in 2015. He left after 9 minutes of the derby instead of koke who was injured, and scored 2-0 to the Chilean with a pass from Siqueira. A goal he will never forget, and that helped Athletic won 4-0 in real Madrid within Vicente Calderón. His next goal was in 2017 in the second leg of the semi-finals of the Champions League, where the rojiblancos were eliminated. He finally scored in extra time European Super Cup 2018. He made it 2-3 in a match that ended 2-4 for the colchoneros.
Now, the next to take revenge in a derby must be Marcos Llorente and Pablo Barrios. ’14’ is in great form. This season he has three goals and five assists. Showing his best level since 2020. He is already twelve derbies, and in Santiago Bernabeu He will play his 13th derby, an ideal moment to debut against what is his team.
One of the Moratalaz He is also in a good moment. He is new Vallecano Ray He shined and demanded ownership from Simeone. So far he has played three games against Real Madrid with a record of one win, one draw and one loss. His debut in a derby was replaced Griezmann in the 90th minute. Almost nothing. A few weeks later he started in a 1-1 draw with Bernabeu, and recently appeared in the second half of the Copa del Rey duel that the colchoneros won 4-2. Now, he can be a starter against real Madrid and his dream is to score a goal. What will be remembered are the two goals he scored in the Youth League tie two seasons ago when he was a youth.
