Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid face each other this Sunday, at 4pm (Brasília time), at the Metropolitano Stadium, in the great classic of the eighth round of the Spanish Championship.

Barcelona's defeat to Osasuna This Saturday, expectations for the clash in Madrid increased, as the two rivals are close to the championship leader. Real Madrid, second in the standings, has 17 points, four behind Barça. Atlético occupies third place with 15 points.


Off the field, the biggest concern is with the behavior of Atlético fans in relation to Vinícius Júnior. The idea of ​​wearing masks is circulating among fans to avoid detection of possible racist insults against the Brazilian striker. In response, LaLiga adopted a "zero tolerance" policy for discriminatory acts during the classic.


The Metropolitan Stadium will have a team specialized in monitoring possible racist incidents. LaLiga said it will formally report and request the immediate arrest of anyone promoting racist insults or hate speech during the match.

Endrick or Camavinga to replace Mbappé

Coach Carlo Ancelotti will be without French star Kylian Mbappé, who was injured in Tuesday's victory against Alavés. To replace number 9, Ancelotti could opt for the Brazilian Endrick, but the tendency is for him to adjust the scheme and promote the return of French midfielder Camavinga, who is recovering from injury.
