Jose Mourinho praises Real Madrid prompting speculation of Bernabau return

Atletico Madrid host arch-rivals Real Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano in what promises to be a fiercely hot-blooded derby.

Zinedine Zidane’s side sit top of La Liga – just one point ahead of Atletico – after six games, with the two sides taking up pole position in the title race as Barcelona lull in sixth.

Both teams are also being spurred by teenage starlets after Brazilians Vinicius and Rodrygo inspired Real to victory against Osasuna, while Joao Felix capped Atletico’s victory at Mallorca.

Yet, despite their positive start and reintegration of Gareth Bale, the prospect of Jose Mourinho’s return still hangs over Zidane, who knows an emphatic victory could go a long way to stemming doubts over his second tenure at the club.

Here’s everything you need to know:
