Real have a superior record to Atletico Madrid, especially on the continent where they have triumphed over their city neighbours in two Champions League finals.

However, domestically it is a different proposition as Atleti find a way to up the ante in La Liga when facing their more illustrious neighbours, especially at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Simeone's men are undefeated at the home ground of their rivals since 2013, winning three and drawing on each of the last two visits there.

This poor home record against Atleti must be playing at the back of every Real Madrid player's mind, and the drive to reverse this trend could aid mightily in inspiring them to victory over their neighbours.
