Madrid’s heart will beat louder on Saturday, September 27, as Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid contest the long-awaited capital derby, the headline act of Matchday 7 in LaLiga EA Sports 2025. Kickoff is set for 16:15 local time in Spain (10:15 a.m. ET / 7:15 a.m. PT) at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, a stage built for passion, pride, and supremacy to collide.
World-class stars will take center stage: Kylian Mbappé, the LaLiga EA Sports 2025 top scorer with seven goals, joined by Vinícius Jr. and rising talent Franco Mastantuono; across the pitch, Julián Álvarez arrives in scorching form after a hat-trick against Rayo Vallecano, alongside Atlético Madrid icon Antoine Griezmann.
An imperious Julián Álvarez, fresh off his first hat-trick of the season, and an unerring Kylian Mbappé, who has scored 9 goals in 7 matches, will headline a shootout on Saturday at the Metropolitano Stadium in the first Madrid derby of LaLiga EA Sports 2025 between Atlético and Real Madrid.
‘La Araña’ roared back to life on Wednesday, inspiring the rojiblancos to overturn a stubborn Rayo Vallecano (3–2) with a treble that allows Atlético Madrid to face their capital rivals with renewed belief after an inconsistent start to the season.
The Argentine No. 9 had been drifting and short of finishing touch at the start of the league campaign. He had scored only once, against Espanyol on opening day, and ended Sunday’s 1–1 draw with Mallorca frustrated after missing a penalty and being substituted.
But in front of his home crowd, Álvarez made a statement three days before the clash with Real Madrid, a pivotal test in Atlético Madrid’s push for the LaLiga EA Sports 2025 title.
