They've been disappointing so far this season, IMO. I think RM will win this time. Especially if they get Bale and James ready.
Yes I have to admit that I'm pessimistic about the Madrid derby. I'd be delighted if atletico could force a draw
It's not a shame that Villarreal manage to beat Atleti, El Madrigal isn't exactly a place where you can expect easy three points. And Benfica is a good opponent, Atleti will make it out from the group stage anyway. So how can you say it's a dissapointment from Atleti?
That being said, I don't want neither of these teams to take three points because they're direct rivals for the league title...
How can I say it's a disappointment from atletico? Cos erm, they lost and haven't performed to the level they can do. Hardly a success is is so henceforth, disappointment
People can say what they want, Atletico isn't a rival for the league this season, in my opinion. There's only Real Madrid and us. Atletico will lose plenty of more points while trying to get their team to gel. So them taking three points from RM is only positive, but I think it will be much harder this time around. As said before, if RM get their most important player, James, ready, it makes it even more difficult.
Sevilla was out of form prior to the game vs. us. In these games, it doesn't matter that much.
