Madrid derby

And I think they're going to lose this weekend.

Then out there's the Madrid derby.

Athletico against Real Madrid at the Metropolitano.

You'll be there?

We'll talk about that later.

And we'll close with the Madrid derby.

I think this is kind of one of those games where both of these teams really need to win.

Real Madrid have not won in Atletico in quite a while.

other friendly international as well as the Nations League qualifiers for those who will be in Europe and friendlies for all others who will not be engaged in any form of competitive action.

But for us, it's the big weekend because the Madrid derby is coming up.

Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Manchester United who want to make amends but they have Fulham standing right in front of them.

Manchester City, Chelsea have a big one up there for the team that is leaking so many goals like a colander.

themselves are struggling anyway Fulham themselves are struggling they haven't won a single Premier League game they've made a lot of changes with a new manager and then they've lost some of their Premier League regulars right so for example they've lost their striker they've brought in a lot of youngsters from Real Madrid talented ones I must say but unfortunately they haven't had that weekly physical competitive game back to back like like they're having now.

So that's going to be interesting looking at that.

And then also looking forward to the Madrid derby.

I know that you mentioned that right after this weekend, there's the international fixture.

El Darby Madrileño.

This translates to the Madrid Derby.

And this one sees Atlético Madrid hosting Real Madrid.

And this one sees Atleti as half a goal dogs at home at the Metropolitano.

And now he could be featuring in one of the biggest games of his life, El Derby Madrileño.

The Madrid derby is coming up this weekend in madrid over on espn and we've got a whole team out there so we have to bring them in we have our wonderful k murray finally joining us on football america's a little bit of t-side here on football americas and of course former atleti man himself in mario suarez k i'm going to throw it out to you because just curious now that you've been there now that you've been talking to mario just talk to me about the impact that jonathan david has had so early on at atleti

Yeah, absolutely.

He's the first Atleti player to score in his first two La Liga games this century.

It's encouraging to see what he continues to do, but the only way he stays on the field, because Julian Alvarez, when he gets back on the field healthy, will be chomping at the bit to prove himself, is by keeping the ball in the back of the net.

Chaka, he has impressed.

Has he at least made a case for himself to warrant a start in the Madrid derby?

Yes, yes.

And one other thing to make sure you're aware of, we have La Liga soccer action on Sunday.

It's the Madrid Derby with Atletico Madrid facing Real Madrid.

Kickoff at 10.15 Eastern on ESPN2, ESPN Deportes, and streaming on the app.
