And again Real Madrid - Atletico! Confrontation of the two Madrid grandees in order bored the audience in recent years, but today's match is expected with great anticipation around the world. And this, in fact, a lot of reasons! And how many questions have you had for both collectives for this summer! How will Real play in the first match at Lopetegi? Under what scheme will "Blancos" play with the new coach? How will Real Madrid look without Cristiano Ronaldo? What will show the newcomers Atletico? What will end the confrontation between Ramos and Diego Costa? Today's match will really be hot!.
Despite the fact that in the match for the UEFA Super Cup there are teams that previously won in completely different strength tournaments, the chances of winning are approximately equal. Atletico in recent years has become one of the most difficult rivals for Real Madrid in Spain, but here in Europe things are a little differently. Real and Atletico regularly meet in the European arena, and here on the side of the "Royal Club" a weighty advantage - from 2013, the "Indians" flew out of the European Cups only after defeats from neighbors. Fans even christened such a series of "Curse by Real".
Not looking at all these conversations, in today's match the chances are really equal. Both teams did not manage to hold any official meetings yet, so we can not talk about their readiness - we'll see everything on the football field. As for the transfer policy of the clubs, here Atletico clearly succeeded more.
How can Real Madrid respond to the transfers of Lemar, Rodri, Jelson Martins, Kalinich and Arias? The transition of Odriosola and Courtois? To put it mildly, weakly. And if you take into account the fact that Real Madrid has so far failed to replace Cristiano Ronaldo, who left Juventus, then the situation at all looks like a losing game.
