Currently leading the La Liga rankings, Real Madrid also has the upper hand in this series with Atlético Madrid, not having lost a Derby match since 1999.Across the field, Atlético Madrid will employ the talents of star players Simão, Diego Da Silva Costa, and Diego Forlán to stop its rival fútbol powerhouse.
