My Prediction
Real Madrid by 1Ah, the ferocity of Madrid. This is the kind of game where you simply forget those New Year's vows of peace and harmony.
Let's jump right into the goalkeeper stats. Atlético Madrid's Jan Oblak boasts a hearty 7.04 rating with 24 saves to his credit. A steady wall against any team on a good day. On the other hand, Real Madrid has both Andriy Lunin and Thibaut Courtois. The duo have ratings in a neck to neck competition, with Lunin scoring a 7.45 and Courtois not far behind with a 7.44, along with a robust 35 saves.
Now, let's talk titans, shall we? Atlético Madrid's Antoine Griezmann's a real tour de force with a 7.81 rating and 6 goals to flaunt. Then we have Marcos Llorente and Julián Álvarez, both field rogues in their own right with respectable ratings and goals. On the flip side, it wouldn't be fair not to acknowledge Real Madrid's Vinícius Júnior, owner of a 7.83 rating and 7 goals. Right beside him are comrades Rodrygo and Daniel Carvajal, giving him a good backup with their own commendable stats.
Shifting our attention to their tournament records, it resembles more of a close horse race than a football match; Atletico Madrid flaunts a 6-0-2 record, while Real Madrid's not far off with a 5-0-3.
Given the recent results, Real Madrid seems to make its foes into pavement while Atlético Madrid has also been steamrolling through the competition. Although the game could very well roll either way, judging by my infallible gut feelings and a peppering of player stats and tournament records, I've got my Spanish armada sailing in a certain direction.
