JAKARTA - Atletico Madrid have spread threats to Real Madrid ahead of their meeting in La Liga on Saturday, September 27, 2025, at 21.15 WIB.

A dramatic victory over Rayo Vallecano 3-2 on Thursday, September 25, 2025, early morning WIB, not only brought them back to winning ways, but motivated motivation.

Los Rojiblancos manager Diego Simeone revealed that his team's hard work and persistence are now making their best performance slowly return.

"Pure football. Football is fantastic. That's an amazing thing about this game. When everything feels in vain, belief, hard work, and persistence always gives you this joy," said Simeone.

Defender David Hancko added that the pressure that had been coming so far followed a series of negative results made Atletico Madrid even stronger.

"When you're at a club that big and don't win games, you feel pressure, not just from the outside, but also from yourself, teammates, and coaches."

"It's not easy when you feel like you're playing well, you're doing everything, but you don't win the game," said Hancko.

Atletico Madrid's first trip in La Liga has indeed struggled. They opened the competition this season with a defeat against Espanyol (1-2).

Then Los Rojiblancos won two draws, vs Elche (1-1) and Alaves (1-1), before winning 2-0 against Villarreal.

However, they are again inconsistent. Atletico Madrid stalled after playing the 1-1 draw against Mallorca in the last week.

Shifting to the Champions League, Simeone's troops also had to lose 2-3 to Liverpool in the first match of the group phase.

Simone is well aware that the way to continue the positive trend after winning over Rayo Vallecano will not be easy. Real Madrid (18 points) is now at the top of the La Liga standings with a difference of nine points from Atletico Madrid on the ninth stairs.

The journey of Xabi Alonso's team is still perfect in all competitions, sweeping seven matches with wins before meeting Atletico Madrid.

"They are a team that has won all six games (La Liga). They are in an extraordinary moment."

"They have decisive players across the pitch. They have grown compared to last season in their collective game. They are a great opponent," said Simeone.

However, Atletico Madrid is being motivated. Moreover, there is a mission to destroy the perfect record of city rivals in order to increase prestige.
