While everyone is talking about Vinicius and his celebrations, Atletico are not talking about it. The only important thing is the game and taking the three points against Real Madrid.
Matheus Cunha, in case anyone had any doubts, made it clear that respect will reign between the two clubs, there is no doubt in his mind. "The atmosphere is going to be spectacular. We respect Madrid, they are a great team and I'm sure they respect us too. Let's do what we know how to do and hopefully we will be very successful," he told Atletico's official media.
Personally, I hope to contribute a lot to the 'Colchonero' team against Real Madrid: "I'm very well, I want to help the team to be better. The only thing on our minds is to win the derby".
In the same vein, Atletico interviewed De Paul, who is also hoping for a victory against the 'Merengues'. "It's a very special and important match for the team's objectives. The fact that it's a derby always makes it more beautiful," he said.
De Paul encouraged the fans to give their all, as that could help to get the win: "The atmosphere when we play at home is incredible, we feel like we're playing with one more player, that's the reality. The motivation is heightened by the fact that it's a derby. We hope to finish Sunday the way we all want to".
