Hello everybody and welcome along to this MARCA in English live blog for the second Supercopa de Espana semi-final fixture of Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid. The winners will meet Barcelona in the final after their resounding 5-0 defeat of Athletic Club yesterday.

The rivalry between these two city giants is as fierce as ever, and with Barcelona already through to the final, both teams will be eager to secure a spot in Sunday's showpiece match.

Atletico Madrid, who are looking to lift their fourth Supercopa de Espana title, have endured a mixed run of form.

Despite being unbeaten in five competitive games, they were held to a 1-1 draw by Real Sociedad last weekend, leaving them in fourth place and 11 points adrift of leaders Barcelona. This leaves their hopes of winning La Liga all but dashed, making the Supercopa de Espana, Copa del Rey, and Champions League crucial for their silverware aspirations.

Diego Simeone's men have won just one of their last three semi-finals in this format, though they will draw confidence from their emphatic 5-2 victory over Real Madrid earlier in the season.

On the other hand, Real Madrid, seeking their 14th Super Cup, come into this fixture on the back of four straight wins, including a resounding 5-1 thrashing of Real Betis. However, they have struggled in recent encounters with Atletico, and this derby promises to be as tightly contested as ever.
