Spanish football fans are gearing up to follow the third derby of the Madrid season, which represents an opportunity for individual revenge for all players of both teams, according to the Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo.' The conflict this season focuses on a group of prominent players whose performance will be crucial in determining the outcome of the match.

Mbappe vs. Le Normand

Kylian Mbappe returns to the starting lineup after a full month absence due to a knee injury, determined to regain his scoring ability. Mbappe will face Ruben Le Normand's defense, who will try to limit his impact on individual attacks, while the Frenchman needs to balance his offensive and defensive duties to maintain his team's balance.

Lunin vs. Musso

The injuries of Thibaut Courtois and Jan Oblak impose an unexpected confrontation between substitutes Lunin and Musso in goalkeeping. Lunin comes after a period of crucial matches with Real Madrid, while Musso arrives in good fitness and excellent experience this season, having kept clean sheets in four league matches, which increases the importance of his performance at the Bernabeu.

Vinicius vs. Marcos Llorente

Vinicius suffers from a long series without goals against Atletico Madrid, having scored only one goal in 19 previous encounters. The main reason is the tight marking by Llorente, who will stay close to the Brazilian player to prevent his individual outburst. However, Vinicius is in his best form this season after fully regaining his confidence and is striving to deliver an outstanding performance in front of the fans.

Haussen vs. Julian Alvarez

Haussen regained his confidence after a series of tough matches under the pressure of the Bernabeu, and facing Alvarez poses a big challenge, as the latter has the ability to move all around the penalty area and shoot from afar. Alvarez enters the match after scoring three goals in his last three matches and hopes to add new goals against Real Madrid, in which he has scored five goals in nine previous encounters.

Arnold vs. Lookman or Baena

Diego Simeone tries to exploit the weaknesses on the right side of Real Madrid, as he will have to choose the most suitable player to face Arnold. If he wants to rely on individual skills and runs on the flank, he will depend on Ademola Lookman. If he wants ball control and movements between lines, he will choose Alex Baena, who has previously proven his impact in Bernabeu matches.

This derby remains crucial in the course of both teams this season, as the competition gathers stars to deliver the best performance on the Santiago Bernabeu pitch, in a match eagerly awaited by Spanish football fans.
