Storied rivals Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will lock horns at the Al-Awwal Stadium in Saudi Arabia with a place in the Spanish Super Cup on the line.
Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will face each other three times over the next month. The cross-city rivals have also been drawn against each other in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey and they have a La Liga meeting coming up as well.,

Real Madrid remain in contention in four competitions and will be eyeing a 13th Super Cup but will have their work cut out for them in the semi-finals against Atletico.

They had beaten Real Madrid 3-1 when the two sides clashed in September thanks to a brace from Alvaro Morata and an Antoine Griezmann strike.
