The draw of the Youth League has given a bombshell. a derby. Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid will meet, in a single game, for a place in the quarterfinals. The Whites automatically went through to this round after finishing first in the group, while the rojiblancos had to play the sixteenth because they were second… And they spent suffering, on penalties, with the Hadjuk Split from Croatia. That victory sent them to today’s hype, a pure draw that has decided to draw a derby.
It will be the reissue of what happened in 2019, when both teams already crossed paths, precisely, in the same competition and round. The match was played at Cerro del Espino and the whites won by 1-2. In those elevens there were players like Antonio Blanco, Chust, Riquelme, Mollejo, Camello, Fran García, Sanabria or Altube. The madridistas, commanded by Daniel Poyatos, went ahead thanks to Frank Garcia Y Mollejo, at the beginning of the second half, tied. The decisive goal came from eleven meters, the work of Alberto.
The rojiblancos will have, in little more than 14 days, their opportunity to rematchto get into a quarterfinal and leave the current defender of the throne by the wayside (the last champion was Raúl’s Madrid, in the summer of 2020). The match will be played in a white fiefdom and, as previously stated, it will be a single match match. An all or nothing in a derby which is always much more than a football game.
