Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid: What's the story?

Matches between these two sides are always special, and this will be no different.

Both will enter the contest off the back of booking their spot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, while Atletico are also chasing success in the Copa del Rey, with Real Sociedad their opponents in the final of the competition.

Atletico are not involved in a La Liga title race this season, sitting 13 points off leaders Barcelona, but Real Madrid are very much in the argument.

As it stands, the gap from first to second is four points, but Barcelona will have the chance to move seven points clear at the summit when they host Rayo Vallecano on Sunday afternoon.

This is a bigger match for Real Madrid than it is for Atletico, as Diego Simeone's side are not going to win the title this season and they are comfortable in the top four.
