Details: Real Madrid boss Ancelotti’s concerning record vs Diego Simeone & Atlético | OneFootball

An insight into how Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti has fared in league meetings with Atlético has on Saturday been forthcoming online.

And it will no doubt make for concerning reading for fans of Los Blancos…

The headline fixture of the La Liga weekend is of course set to play out at the Santiago Bernabéu later this evening.

As much will see the aforementioned Real play host to city rivals Atlético, in the latest edition of the Madrid Derby.

The matchup marks a crucial one when it comes to the title race in Spain’s top-flight, with the former currently sitting pretty atop the table, albeit by just a solitary point over their neighbours.

Safe to say, then, that both sides will be nothing short of desperate to secure all three points later today.

And, if recent history is anything to go by, then it is actually Atlético who boast the advantage when it comes to the chances of as much.

Real Madrid have not beaten the Rojiblancos in any of their last four La Liga meetings.

Across boss Carlo Ancelotti’s two stints on the bench in Spain’s capital, meanwhile, Los Merengues have managed just two wins in 11 league clashes with Diego Simeone’s Atlético.

The latter, on the other hand, emerged triumphant from five of these outings, with the other four having ended in draws.
