J. Lopetegui: "Equal Match Awaits"

Julen Lopetegui faces perhaps the most serious challenge of his career - after a very difficult match in Seville, the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium will demand victory in the principle Madrid derby.

On Wednesday, Madrid's "Real" lost 0-3 to the "Sevilla" team, and today they will fight for points against Madrid's "Atletico."

"In football, everything happens very quickly, but we need to forget what happened this week, because we again face a huge challenge," J. Lopetegui said at a press conference.

"We don't stop at victories, we promise to do the same after defeats. We only think about how we can deal with the upcoming challenge.

I hope for a close match, which will be difficult for both teams. We will have to work hard to show a good game, but I expect a lot from my team.

We will play against a great opponent. "Atletico" is a team highly valued around the world, which demands the greatest efforts from ourselves," added J. Lopetegui.
