A top-of-the-table clash awaits as Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid lock horns this weekend. Get all the details you need to watch the Madrid Derby, including live stream, TV channel, kick-off time, team news and more.
Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid , bitter rivals, will clash this weekend in a top-of-the-table showdown at the Bernabeu. Carlo Ancelotti's league leaders hold a slender one-point advantage but suffered a shocking defeat to Espanyol in their last La Liga outing, providing Diego Simeone's title challengers with the opportunity to overtake the reigning champions on Saturday night.
Atletico have also had the upper hand against Los Blancos in recent encounters, losing only one of their last five meetings. Remarkably, England star Jude Bellingham is yet to win a Madrid derby in the league since joining Spain two years ago. This unwanted record will undoubtedly motivate the 21-year-old to set things right. Widely considered the biggest fixture in Europe this weekend, Record Sport provides you with all the essential information ahead of this tantalizing matchup. \When does Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid take place?

Alternatively, you can watch the match on La Liga TV. \Referee and VAR Spanish headlines have been dominated by the bitter fallout from two refereeing decisions that Real Madrid labeled 'inexplicable' and 'exceeding any margin for human error or refereeing interpretation'. Real Madrid expressed their fury after Carlos Romero scored the winning goal in last week's defeat against Espanyol, having earlier escaped a red card for a hard tackle on Kylian Mbappe, a tackle the defender later admitted was 'ugly'. Following this, Los Blancos lodged a formal complaint, harshly criticizing the referee and VAR official, and demanding the release of VAR audio recordings. This provoked the anger of La Liga president Javier Tebas, who astonishingly claimed the club had 'lost their minds' and 'have constructed a narrative of victimhood that is not true'. While Madrid and La Liga engage in this verbal battle, the spotlight will fall on whistler César Soto Grado, who has been assigned to manage this weekend's explosive Madrid derby. Ricardo de Burgos Bengoechea will be on VAR duties. \Team news Real Madrid have received a welcome triple injury boost ahead of the highly anticipated derby with Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, and Lucas Vazquez all expected to be available after missing the midweek Copa del Rey victory at Leganes. It remains unclear whether Eduardo Camavinga will be deemed fit as he recovers from a hamstring issue. However, Antonio Rudiger remains sidelined alongside long-term injuries to Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal. As for Atletico, barring Robin Le Normand serving his suspension, Diego Simeone has a relatively healthy squad to choose from
