Yeah, and he's done a great job.

The other day, I think he made a few fantastic saves to save Atletico Madrid of getting the result.

But I think that at this stage, by the way that Courtois has been

so key for Real Madrid in specific moments, I think that Real Madrid is going to suffer a lot more.

Looney has been doing a great job every single time that he's been involved, let me say that, but he's a totally different keeper and I think that the defence feels safer when you've got a keeper like Courtois that, not only because of his reflexes in the air, with the ball, everything shows that he's not one of the many leaders that Real Madrid has got on the field.

Alba Loa's first Madrid derby.

Diego Simeone is facing his 10th Real coach here.

It's his 50th derby.

I mean, the idea that the game is bigger for Real Madrid because they're in the title race and Atletico aren't.

I think you can throw that out the window, can't you?

Always.

I think that with Simeone on the bench, I think they...

you can throw this game is becoming a more special and more competitive than ever and um we've seen it atletico madrid won in the first leg and now in the second one in the second part of the season with all the problems that both teams has had during the season i think the real madrid at the moment with the injuries that they got i think maybe they are going to struggle a little bit more but um competitively it's always going to be and much more mario was talking about simeone on the sideline

pushing is always keeping on your toes.

So we'll have to wait and see.

I can manage the situation that is happening outside that sometimes they are very important also.

It's pretty amazing that Real Madrid haven't won any of the last six league meetings.

Where are you then, Luis?

I'm very close, I'm very close, but I think that what we've been seeing about Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid is that this game is going to be very tight once again.

I predicted a 2-2 in the first one, I was totally wrong, but again, I'm going to go for another 2-2 because I know that both teams can score a lot, but I think that they are vulnerable at this stage.
