⚔️ Derby Sunday

There’s a derby in the capital today, and the form of both teams, solid though not outstanding, also shows up in the Opta stats. These are the standout ones:

  • Atleti had gone 6 derbies without losing until they were beaten 3-2 by Madrid in the league in March. The Metropolitano is a very tough stadium for Los Blancos.
  • A lot of attention on Baena and Mbappé, the true engines of their respective teams.
  • Also on Espí, who has scored two goals in 25 minutes of playing time, and both have won the match beyond the 90th minute.
  • Atleti have made a prolific start despite the Julián case. 14 goals in 6 matches.

And if you add to that attacking whirlwind the fact they’ve already gone three matches without conceding...

At the end of the match, coach Giovanni Stroppa spoke about his future with a brilliant line: “if I were the president, I wouldn’t sack the coach”

Good luck, Giovanni.


💥 How we love bicycle-kick goals

And the one Miguel Borja gave us yesterday for América in the Mexican football clásico against Chivas is absolutely world-class. It will be remembered forever.
