Before the Metropolitano derby, Real Madrid struggles away from home

Real Madrid are preparing for the capital derby against Atlético Madrid on Sunday, September 20, at the Metropolitano Stadium, amid concerns due to the team's struggles in matches away from Santiago Bernabéu.

The newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" has highlighted Real Madrid's away record, as the team has played 3 matches away from Santiago Bernabéu so far, struggling in all encounters.

Real Madrid began their away campaign against Espanyol, taking the lead before the hosts equalised. However, Isco saved the royal team by scoring the winning goal in the 90th minute.

The scenario repeated itself against Elche, as Real Madrid finished the first half leading 2-0, before the hosts came back in the second half to equalise, and then Espi scored the winning goal in the 91st minute.

The third match was against Real Betis, and it ended with Real Madrid losing by a goal to nil.

With this, the royal team has achieved two hard-fought victories and one defeat in their three away matches, before visiting Atlético Madrid at the Metropolitano, in a new test for what José Mourinho's team can deliver away from home.
