The rojiblancos have secured 15 victories in the last 17 matches and have the chance to emerge as leaders from Santiago Bernabéu in case of a win. However, there is some concern within the colchonero team about one issue.
After their defeat against Espanyol last weekend, Real Madrid has launched a massive campaign of pressure on the refereeing.

In reply to this situation, Atlético de Madrid has posted a message on the social network X, using irony.
Atlético de Madrid's Ironic reply
In reply to Real Madrid's accusations, Atlético de Madrid has decided to reply with irony. In a tweet directed at the RAE, the club wrote: "Friends of the RAE, these days we are being asked a lot about a matter and we don't want to make a mistake. Can you help us with the nuances of the following verbs? Pressure, intimidate, coerce, frighten, influence, impose." This message reflects the rojiblancos' stance on the situation.
The classic between Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid is always a match full of tension, but the refereeing controversy has added more spice.
