The MF crew discuss the upcoming Madrid derby. Nico can't imagine going through one as they are so draining and played at such high intensity and high level. Cupo believes that Atleti need the win more just to get back into contention for the title having had a rough December. It will be a tough mountain to climb for Atletico Madrid as they haven't won on Real Madrid's home turf since 2016. Title implications on the line in this one as Bellingham is the key to the match.
