Preview

No meeting between Real and Atletico will struggle for storylines and drama, but with a trophy on the line and the chance to claim bragging rights in Madrid ahead of the new season, this match could be something special.

Wednesday's encounter comes with even more spice as former Atletico loanee Thibaut Courtois could make his debut for Los Merengues against his old club, per ESPN FC:

BBC Sport confirmed the Belgium international's transfer to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu from Chelsea, worth up to £35 million, and he is set to replace Keylor Navas as head coach Julen Lopetegui's No. 1.

Real have developed a winning momentum under their new manager and clinched victory in their last three successive matches, and Marca's Chris Winterburn has predicted Los Rojiblancos will see more success this season:

While Diego Simeone heads into his eighth season with Atletico, Lopetegui is on the verge of his first La Liga campaign as a manager and would treasure a pre-season triumph over Real's local rivals.

The former Spain coach may be new to the role, but sportswriter Ben Hayward has spoken highly of his influence on the team already as he looks to fill the void left by Zinedine Zidane:

Pre-season results only serve as a barometer of a team's strength to a point, but Real will nevertheless also look at their fortunes in the 2018 International Champions Cup as cause to be upbeat about their chances against Atleti:

Atletico may have won Europe's secondary competition last season, but their 3-0 hammering of Marseille in the Europa League final in May was evidence they can overpower opposing teams.

Ahead of their return to the Champions League, a win on Wednesday could signal they're ready to make the step back up to title contention in 2018-19, and beating defending champions Real will be their first step to doing so.
