There are three players who stand out within the team and are responsible for Real Madrid's offense. The first is the winner of the golden ball Luka Modric (#10), he plays in the midfield position and is in charge of distributing the attack. He is the second best assister on the team with 5 assists in the 2021-2022 season. The next player is Frenchman Karim Benzema (#9), he is considered the best player on the team. In 30 games played he has 26 goals and 12 assists which makes him the team's top scorer and assister. Finally, striker Vinícius Júnior (#20), at only 21 years old, has become a starter within the team. In LaLiga he has scored 14 goals and 9 assists, for that reason he is the second best assister and scorer for Real Madrid.
They are at the top of LaLiga and the Champions League. After 25 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses, they have 81 points, which puts them in first place in LaLiga. His last game was against RCD Espanyol de Barcelona, where Real Madrid took all three points by winning 4-0 and after that victory Real Madrid was proclaimed LaLiga champion with 4 games to go. Last Wednesday, Real Madrid got their ticket to the Champions League final by defeating Manchester City 6-5 and thus demonstrating the good moment the team is going through.
The next three players are considered key to Atlético's attacking attack and any of them are likely to score in the match against Real Madrid. The Uruguayan player Luis Suárez (# 9) is a fundamental piece for the team because of his experience. He is the team's top scorer in LaLiga with 11 goals in 32 games played, as well as being the team's sixth highest assister. Next is Antoine Griezmann (#8), he plays in the forward position, during the tournament he has achieved 3 goals and 2 assists. He is another player with a lot of experience and who has faced Real Madrid multiple times, so he will be key to be able to defeat them. Finally, João Félix (#7) the young promise of Atlético Madrid who has been said could be the next Cristiano Ronaldo. With his young age, he has managed to be a starter on the team, becoming the third best scorer and fourth best assister on the team with 8 goals and 4 assists in the 2021-2022 season.
They have had a pretty good 2021-2022 season, however there are a few days left that they should play well. After 18 wins, 7 draws and 9 losses, they have 61 points, which places them in fourth place in the general table. At the moment they are in a position that gives them a ticket to the group stage of the Champions League and if they want to keep it they will have to go out and win this game. They were eliminated in the Champions League after losing 1-0 in the quarterfinals against Manchester City, so now they only focus on LaLiga. Their last game resulted in a loss, Athletic Bilbao prevailing 2-1 at home and thus Atlético got their second consecutive loss.
The Wanda Metropolitano is located in the city of Madrid, Spain. It will be the venue for this match, it has a capacity of 68,456 spectators and it is the home of Club Atlético de Madrid. It was inaugurated on September 4, 1994 and underwent a renovation that lasted from 2011 to 2017.
