Official: Atletico Madrid starting lineup against Real Madrid | Spanish Super Cup

Real Madrid have just lost just one game so far across all competitions this season – a brutal 3-1 defeat against derby rivals Atletico Madrid in the league.

They will now face Diego Simeone’s men again tonight in the Spanish Super Cup semi-finals in Saudi Arabia, before taking them on in the Copa del Rey round of 16, and then again in La Liga within a few weeks.

Simeone does not have too many crucial injuries to deal with, and has chosen to play his best possible starting lineup for this game, headlined by Antoine Griezmann, who forms the front-two with Alvaro Morata.

Rodrigo de Paul will take care of the proceedings behind them, starting alongside Koke and Saul Niguez in the midfield trident.

Samuel Lino and Marcos Llorente have been tasked with providing width to this team as the left and right-wingbacks, respectively.

In defence, meanwhile, Jose Maria Gimenez gets the nod to lead the team as the central centre-back, while Mario Hermoso and Stefan Savic flank him as the left and right CBs, respectively.

This trio will be guarding Jan Oblak in goal.
