The Madrid derby is always one of the most attractive matches to watch for everything that surrounds it.

It wasn’t going to be until the fifth game that both played when Atlético de Madrid got their first victory against the whites. The game ended with a victory for the colchoneros by two to one, with goals from Marín and Cuesta.
Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid have met on more than one occasion in the Champions League final, both with victory for the whites.

Two years had to pass before they met again in a European final, this time the game would go to penalties after no one could break the one-on-one, it was Real Madrid who won the penalty shootout.
