When it comes to entertainment and the level of football that is played, the Madrid derby is a game that almost never fails to deliver. Recent matches between the first teams of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have been nothing short of nail-biting, and this season has been no exception.
The matches between the senior teams, on the other hand, are not the only ones that boast of high-quality football and competition that is full of emotion.Across the many levels of Spanish football, Los Blancos and their neighbors compete against one another on a regular basis. Later tonight, they are scheduled to compete against one another at the U-19 level.
Surprisingly large audience
The match between Real Madrid Juvenil A, led by Alvaro Arbeloa, and Atletico Madrid Juvenil A, led by Fernando Torres, is scheduled to take place at the Valdebebas today. It is anticipated that the match will be a lively one between two very competitive teams.
After all, Real Madrid has violated the non-aggression contract that existed between Los Rojiblancos and Real Madrid in recent years, which has resulted in the theft of some of Los Rojiblancos’ most talented players.
Based on the information provided by Mario Cortegana of The Athletic, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is now present at the Valdebebas to see the two sides compete against one other in the derby. The fact that he is there in the crowd is evidence of the high quality that is being shown.

A possible rival
Both Real Madrid and Manchester City have been placed in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League for this season. Real Madrid will have a lot of work to do if they want to advance to the last four of the competition.
In the event that they go to the semifinals, however, Carlo Ancelotti can find himself in a situation where he and Mikel Arteta meet. When everything is said and done, Arsenal is on the same side of the bracket as Real Madrid, and if they are successful in defeating Bayern Munich, they will be facing Real Madrid.
Under Arteta’s leadership, the Gunners have been in incredible form this season, scoring 70 goals and allowing just 24 goals to be scored against them in a total of 28 Premier League matches. They are currently in first place in the league rankings and are in a strong position to win the championship if they maintain their current streak of success.
