Marcos Llorente, Robin Le Normand and Álex Grimaldo are the stars of a campaign to promote the Madrid derby as a unique global football experience. The three Atletico Madrid players are part of an initiative with Argentine content creator Jero Freixas, known for his humorous football videos, who is travelling to the capital to experience the classic fixture.
The campaign, associated with Mahou, defines the match with five key ingredients: ambition, talent, legacy, team, and passion. The red-and-white players have been clear in their joint message. "The only Derbi Cinco de Cinco is in Madrid," said Llorente, Le Normand and Grimaldo.
The clash takes place this Sunday at 16:15 at the Cívitas Metropolitano stadium. It arrives at a key moment for Atletico, who sit third in La Liga with 13 points after six matchdays. Diego Simeone's side aims to close the five-point gap to leaders Barcelona and overcome a Real Madrid side sitting in second place.
The last meeting between the two, on March 22nd, ended in a 3-2 win for Real Madrid. To check all the details of the red-and-white squad and schedule, visit our squad and fixtures pages.
