20 Sep
Summary
- Real Madrid secured two victories through late injury-time goals.
- The team struggled to maintain control after halftime in recent matches.
- Real Madrid faces city rivals Atletico Madrid on Sunday.
Real Madrid has experienced a dramatic start to the 2026-27 season, clinching two victories with goals scored in injury time. Their opening La Liga match saw a late winner, and a recent 2-3 comeback against Elche was also decided in stoppage time.
However, the team's ability to manage games from start to finish remains a concern, as they conceded twice in the second half against Elche, despite a strong first-half showing. Attention now shifts to a demanding Madrid derby against rivals Atletico Madrid.
The official squad for the upcoming derby has been announced, featuring no major surprises. Manager Jose Mourinho has selected all available players, keeping the squad consistent with the one utilized in their recent match against Elche.
The highly anticipated Atletico Madrid vs. Real Madrid La Liga match is scheduled for Sunday, September 20, at 7:45 PM IST. Fans in India can stream the match live on the FanCode app and website, as it will not be televised domestically. The game will be held at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano.
