Feyenoord and Atletico Madrid trade tackles at the De Kuip Stadium on Sunday

Feyenoord and Atletico Madrid will round off their pre-season friendly campaigns this Sunday when they trade tackles at the De Kuip Stadium.

The hosts kick-off their Eredivisie campaign away to Willem II Tilburg on 15 August.

Meanwhile, the visitors travel to the Municipal de Balaidos Stadium for their La Liga opener against Celta Vigo.

Feyenoord continued their hunt for a place in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday as they claimed a 3-0 first-leg win over Swiss outfit FC Luzern in round three of the qualifiers.

Dutch midfielder Guus Til put in a headline-grabbing performance as he scored a first-half brace before Luis Sinisterra completed the rout with an 84th-minute finish.

Arne Slot's men have now picked up two wins from their last three outings, scoring seven goals and conceding three.

Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid were denied a second consecutive victory on Thursday as they were beaten 4-2 on penalties by FC Luzern.

Yannick Carrasco gave Atletico Madrid the lead in the first half, but Alberto Perea leveled the scores with four minutes left on the clock.

With nothing separating the sides in extra time, Atletico Madrid lost 4-2 in the penalty shootout with Saul Niguez and Giuliano Simeone Baldini missing their spot-kicks.

It was their second defeat in their four pre-season outings after they were beaten 1-0 by Red Bull Salzburg last Wednesday.

Head coach Diego Simeone will hope his side can quickly return to winning ways and pick up the pace as they look to defend their La Liga title.
