Zinedine Zidane, the Real manager, was happy to see Vinicius Junior score against Sociedad and he provided an update on the injured Karim Benzema.
 
“I’m pleased he got the goal. We picked up a point and now we have to move on. It’s the result of his hard work and effort. That’s what we all have to keep doing," Zidane said. 
 
“We hope he can be with us, but we have to wait and see because he still hasn’t trained with the team. We’ll assess the situation tomorrow.
 
"He’s OK.  Karim’s injury is much better and we’ll take a look at him."
 
The last league meeting between Atletico and Madrid was on 12 December 2020. 

Real emerged 2-0 winners over Atletico in a match which was played at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano.
