THE PREDICTION

Trophies are essential if you play a style of football that Atletico Madrid do. Diego Simeone’s ‘Cholismo’ is conservative and has an emphasis on defence that can irritate many, however, if it is effective and you are successful then it doesn’t necessarily matter. They come up against an Athletic Club side that come into this sitting in the middle of La Liga and reached the Super Cup after reaching back-to-back Copa del Rey finals in 2020 and 2021 - both of which they lost. Atletico Madrid will come into this as the favourites.
