Diego Simeone vs Carlo Ancelotti: The Key Duel In Madrid Derby In La Liga Santander
The Madrid Derby is much more than a football match. It's not just about the battle for three points; it's about securing victory for the two passionate fanbases that exist in the Spanish capital. And few men know this better than coaches Diego ‘Cholo' Simeone and Carlo Ancelotti. The two know each other perfectly, and taking into account the Italian coach's two spells at Real Madrid, they've met on six different occasions in LaLiga Santander. The balance is in favour of the Argentine. With El Cholo at the helm, Atleti have managed to win four of the six Madrid Derbies against the Italian. Overall, across all competitions, it's seven wins for Simeone, six wins for Ancelotti and four draws in their 17 meetings.

Benzema is expected to miss the match at Atlético after being sidelined last week with a right leg injury he picked up in the 3-0 win at Celtic in the Champions League.
