The city of Madrid will be back to deadlock this Saturday. Derby day's on the horizon for Real Madrid and Atletico, and the nerves are palpable.
The rivalry between the two sides is legendary and said games always have an extra dose of motivation and intensity. However, sometimes the metaphorical line is crossed in terms of respect.
For exmaple, the chants and effigy of Vinicius which was tied to one of the city's bridges. However, the Santiago Bernabeu has also been hostile territory for Alvaro Morata.
The striker, who has played for Real in the past, received chants and offensive language after scoring in the Copa del Rey clash as well as when he was subbed off. It's not a novelty for the Madrid man, who, on his debut for Atletico, they were already chanting "Morata, Morata, you never wanted to see it, you were always a sub".
